Bitcoin Dips Below $8,000 as Sellers Take Full Control
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down nearly 3% at its of $8,100, which marks a slight climb from its recent lows of below $7,900, which is where the cryptocurrency found notable levels of support that slowed its downwards descent.
Because Bitcoin does appear to have a decent amount of support around $8,000, it is highly probable that the crypto will consolidate around this level for the next few days and weeks, although any sudden influx of buying or selling pressure could change this.
This latest bout of downwards pressure has led analysts to set relatively low targets for the cryptocurrency in the near-term, with Harry, a popular crypto analyst on Twitter, explaining that he believes it will target the upper-$4,000 region in the near-term, but also adding that it may first move back into the $9,000 region.“$BTC – Long term BTC chart, assuming we are not reversing from a relief rally, smart bulls are looking for signs of continuation as low as $4.8k, expect pull backs to levels will be sold off hard, be particularly cautious with prices attacking $9.5k on first attempt,” he noted.

Analyst: BTC to First Target $7,300 Before Moving Down Towards $4,000
In response to Naeem Aslam, another popular analyst on Twitter, claiming that the recent sell-off may be followed by a mean revision rally, Harry further added that he believes Bitcoin will first target $7,300 before moving to his mid-term target of $4,800.
“$BTC – I had been talking previously about a stagnant market with significant action outside $11.5-$9.5k range. All the same levels here, $9.5k had multiple tests, market looked illiquid to $8k, daily close on 23/09 kicks this off. Market now targets $7.3k with $4.8k potential,” he explained while pointing to the below chart.
