The Bitcoin price slipped over 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $98,661.54 as of 3:44 a.m. EST.<\/span><\/p>\n

The correction in the BTC price comes as former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers dismissed incoming President Donald Trump’s plans for a strategic Bitcoin reserve as “crazy.” <\/span><\/p>\n

“Some of what is being said, this idea that we should have some kind of national Bitcoin reserve, is crazy,” Summers said during a Dec. 6 interview with Bloomberg TV.<\/span><\/p>\n

BTC<\/span><\/a> also experienced a turbulent trading day yesterday as investors celebrated a new all-time high of $103,583.91 for the crypto leader. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the euphoria didn’t last long as BTC suffered a quick and sharp correction to below $93K, wiping out $200 billion from its market cap in the process. It has since bounced back to trade at its current price.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> price has been in a consolidation phase between $93,362.62 and $99,186.57 for the majority of the last few days. During this period, it has broken both below and above the sideways range, but each break out of the consolidation channel did not last long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, BTC is attempting another challenge at the upper boundary of the channel at $99,186.57. Should the leading crypto break above this barrier in the next few hours, BTC might rise to as high as $103,845.17 in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a rejection from the $99,186.57 threshold might lead to a retest of the $93,362.62 support. A drop below this technical safety net could then result in the Bitcoin price dropping to the subsequent mark at $86,839.80.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technicals Suggest Bears Are Losing Their Grip On The Bitcoin Price<\/span><\/h2>\n

From a technical perspective, BTC seems to have entered into a negative cycle in the last 12 hours. However, there are signs that bulls are starting to make a comeback. Throughout the last trading day, the MACD line crossed below the MACD Signal line. This specific technical event is often interpreted as an indication that a crypto has entered a bearish trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also currently positioned below its Simple Moving Average (SMA) line on the 4-hour chart. This could suggest that sellers currently have the upper hand against buyers. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the RSI line has started to rise in recent hours and is still positively sloped. The gap between the RSI and SMA lines is also starting to narrow, which could lead to bulls stealing back the advantage from their bearish counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n
