According to the tweet, BTC’s value was at a key support level of $42,400. With the currency failing to test that support level and falling below it, the possibility of a continued downturn seemed likely.
If the data is to be believed, Bitcoin could fall to $40,000 again before the end of the year. Nevertheless, the great thing was that after touching $40,000, BTC could initiate a bull rally that could take it to $44,000.
Is a further downward trend possible?

According to our look at CryptoQuant’s factsBTC’s Miners Position Index (MPI) also marked the same red color. This clearly meant that miners were selling more assets compared to the annual average, which had the potential to push the price of the coin further down.
However, it was interesting to see that even though the MPI and the aSORP were red, both Bitcoin’s exchange reserve and exchange grid remained green.
When these metrics turn green, it suggests that buying pressure on a token is high, which can be seen as a bullish signal.
