The crypto markets plummeted today following yesterday\u2019s price surge that was widely seen as being highly bullish by many analysts. Yesterday\u2019s sharp and sudden surge sent Bitcoin above $4,000, which had previously been a strong level of resistance for BTC.<\/p>\n

Today, however, the crypto markets have plummeted, sending BTC<\/a> down towards $3,800. This recent volatility<\/a> has led to an influx of trading volume that temporarily had an adverse impact on Binance’s systems.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down nearly 6% at its current price of $3,825. Yesterday, BTC\u2019s price exploded to highs of $4,200 before running out of buying pressure and plummeting to its current price levels.<\/p>\n

This volatility has highlighted the importance of Bitcoin\u2019s 100-day moving average and 50-day moving average as key levels of support, which must continue to hold or else significantly further losses could be in play.<\/p>\n

Chonis Trading, a popular cryptocurrency trader on Twitter, spoke about the importance of these moving averages as levels of support in the near-term, noting that a close above these levels is ideal on a daily chart.<\/p>\n
