Bitcoin’s current price and far ahead
Needless to say, Bitcoin’s sharp drop has also caused a widespread market sale, so that sentiment was pushed to the area of ”extreme fear” for the first time in five months.
While some altcoins have started recovering, Bitcoin continues under Bearish, according to a dive of approximately $ 88.215.21 after a dip of 1.27% in the last 24 hours, according to Mint market cap.
The uncertainty in the price promotion reflects the cautious attitude of traders, because BTC is struggling to regain the momentum despite a short lighting in broader market conditions.
In the future, Bitcoin’s ability to break beyond the resistance level of $ 97,927 may indicate a potential bullish reversal.
However, if the prevailing bearish -momentum continues, a further decrease in the critical level of support of $ 86,110 remains a strong possibility.
The next step of the market will largely depend on whether BTC pulls sufficient purchasing pressure to shift the sentiment, or whether continuous weakness feeds a new wave of sale.
