Bitcoin Price Prediction – February 16

The Bitcoin price prediction shows that BTC keeps trading below the channel as the coin retreats from the $44,195 level.

BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bearish (Daily Chart)

Key levels:

Resistance Levels: $48,500, $50,500 $52,500

Support Levels: $39,500, $37,500, $36,500

BTC/USD is facing a setback as this may not be a permanent one, and the king coin is likely to have a bearish run in the short term, but a price rally may help the king coin to head to the south if the red line of the 9-day moving average crosses below the green line of the 21-day moving average. Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around the $43,581 level after touching the daily high at $44,195 during the European session.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Would Bitcoin (BTC) Cross Below the 9-Day Moving Average?

Looking at the daily chart, the Bitcoin price is likely to cross below the 9-day moving average. However, if the price should slump below the support level of $43,000, the king coin is likely to face a downward trend. Therefore, the further bearish movement could locate the supports at $39,500, $37,500, and $35,500, making room for BTC to fall even further.

In the meantime, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (14) is likely to cross below 58-level as the trading volume could be in support of the bears. Moreover, if the bulls decide to move the price above the upper boundary of the channel, BTC/USD may locate the resistance levels at $48,500, $50,500, and $52,500 respectively.

BTC/USD Medium-Term Trend: Ranging (4H Chart)

On the 4-Hour chart, the Bitcoin price stays below the 9-day moving average, and the immediate support is likely to come at the $43,500 level. The price may likely fall below this level if the bears fully stepped back into the market.

However, a further bearish movement could test the critical support at the $42,000 level and below while the resistance could be located above the 9-day moving average at the resistance level of $45,500 and above. Technically, the Bitcoin price is currently moving into the negative side as the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (14) is likely to cross below 50-level.
