Bitcoin has dropped to $28,838 today as the bears mount pressure to push it down further. The apex cryptocurrency rallied between April 11 and April 18 before losing its grip on the $30,000 price level.
However, the current sentiment hints at a further decline as the general market slows.
Bitcoin Price Action
Bitcoin recovered remarkably from the 2022 crypto winter moving from $16,625 on January 1, 2023, to $20,976 on January 14. BTC traded between $22,000 and $24,000 in February before dropping to $20,363 on March 10.
However, it spiked from $22,163 on March 12 to $30,235 on April 11. Currently, the bears have returned BTC’s price to $28,848.
Bitcoin Price Prediction With Technical Indicators
Bitcoin has dropped on the price chart today. The doji candlestick formation on the daily chart represents trader indecision in the market, as the bears and bulls are evenly matched.
Doji candlesticks often signal price reversals. However, the next candlestick is critical for confirmation of the price direction.
Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 51.65 in the neutral zone. The RSI’s sideways movement reflects the current indecision in today’s market.
BTC’s Moving Average Convergence/divergence (MACD) has dropped below its signal line, confirming the bearish trend. Also, the MACD is descending, indicating the possibility of further price decline.
Bitcoin has remained above its 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) despite its bearish outlook. It implies that BTC’s price will likely correct to the upside if the bulls can rally once more.
BTC Support And Resistance Levels
Bitcoin’s recent price trend has formed new resistance and support levels for the asset. BTC’s support levels are $16,337, $19,569, $21,376, and $25,270. Currently, its resistance levels are $28,819, $29,422, and $30,378.
Bitcoin’s price action today suggests that the price might decline further on the daily chart. However, a return to the $27,800 might not occur anytime soon as the bulls might reclaim the market at the $28,819 resistance level to return BTC to $29,000.
Expect high volatility in BTC’s price in the coming days.

Factors That Might Influence Bitcoin’s Price
Several factors could influence Bitcoin’s price action directly or otherwise. These factors are listed below.
1) Macroeconomic Factors: Global issues such as wars, inflation, recession, and flooding could affect crypto and mining activities, thus reducing productivity. If mining activities reduce, Bitcoin’s price will decline since it uses a proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism.
2) Crypto Regulations: Some nations have suppressive crypto laws that hinder the growth and expansion of cryptocurrencies. Others have absolute bans on crypto, such as China and Qatar. This could affect the performance of cryptocurrencies.
3) Supply And Demand: The laws of supply and demand remain relevant for any financial market. Scarcity will encourage a price increase for a given asset. However, if the supply exceeds the demand, the asset losses value in the market.
