 <\/span>The Bitcoin price plunged 10% in the last 24 hours <\/span>to trade at $53,987<\/span><\/a> as of 00:44 p.m. EST on trading volume that surged 96% to $53 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes amid a crypto crash triggered by a rate hike in Japan that spooked investors, triggering the panic selling of riskier assets<\/span>. Overall, cryptocurrencies sank by about $570 billion, according to data from <\/span>CoinGecko<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sell-off witnessed in the crypto market coincides with the broader slide in equities in Asia-Pacific markets and with the U.S. Nasdaq sliding 3.4% last week into correction territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stock crash is partly tied to disappointing economic data in the US, including earnings, a weaker-than-expected jobs report, higher unemployment, and a declining manufacturing sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

The price of Bitcoin is now trading at its lowest since February, having plummeted to below $54,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Aims For A Bullish Trend Reversal<\/h2>\n

The Bitcoin price has been on a downtrend in the last week, plunging 24%, within a falling channel pattern, according to data from <\/span>GeckoTerminal<\/span><\/a>. Bitcoin dropped below the channel’s lower boundary today to touch the $50,000 mark before rebounding to the current price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major BTC indicators show that the price of Bitcoin is currently on a bearish trend, with the token trading below both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The SMAs now act as the immediate resistance zone at $60,394 and $65,159.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped below the 30-oversold level on the 1-hour chart, currently trading at 19. This indicates that sellers have an upper hand, with the asset now being undervalued.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the bearish stance continues, the price of Bitcoin could drop further to the $49,000 support level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, the bulls could use this opportunity of the asset being undervalued to start buying, which could push BTC up, breaching the $60,394 and $65,159 resistance zones. In this scenario, the bulls could be targeting prices above the $67,000 resistance level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Bitcoin bulls run for cover, investors are still buying into the <\/span>99Bitcoins (99BTC)<\/span><\/a> presale before it concludes tomorrow, August 6, at 9.30 a.m. UTC.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Jacob Bury, a prominent crypto YouTuber, 99BTC has the potential to turn $1K into $10K after launch.<\/span><\/p>\n
