Moreover, the Bitcoin price may be vulnerable to losses if the price crosses below the moving averages.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bitcoin (BTC) Bears May Show Again

The Bitcoin price from a technical angle reveals that the market price may follow the downtrend or continue to move sideways because the bullish movement is not visible now. However, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (14) may confirm the bearish movement if the signal line drops below the 50-level.

Moreover, bulls are currently banking on the 9-day moving average to ensure that despite a reversal, the Bitcoin price stays above this barrier. Any bearish movement below this could draw the coin towards the lower boundary of the channel and may cause the coin to reach the critical supports at $18,000, $17,000, and $16,000. Following the upward movement, if the coin crosses above the upper boundary of the channel, it may hit the nearest resistance levels at $22,000, $23,000, and $24,000 respectively.

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

Moreover, buyers may need to regroup and make sure that the king coin does not cross below the daily low of $19,474, once this is done, traders may expect a bullish cross above the upper boundary of the channel, and this could push the king coin to the resistance level of $20,300 and above. Meanwhile, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (14) is seen nose-diving below the 60-level, suggesting a bearish movement.
