After making a strong attempt to break above $8,000 yesterday, Bitcoin (BTC) lost the momentum that it had been gaining over the past couple of days and has begun to descend back down towards the lower-$7,000 region.<\/p>\n

The cryptocurrency\u2019s inability to break above $8,000 has led analysts to conclude that BTC could be at risk of reversing its recent uptrend, meaning that significantly further losses could be imminent.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Loses Momentum as Bears Defend $8,000 Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading down just over 2% at its current price<\/a> of $7,600, which marks a slight retrace from its daily highs of just under $8,000 that were set at the peak of the recent rally that was first sparked when BTC bounced from $6,500.<\/p>\n

If Bitcoin fails to garner any upwards momentum in the near-term, it is highly probable that it will see further downside in the coming hours and days, as it may signal that $8,000 is an insurmountable resistance level that will suppress any potential bullishness.<\/p>\n

CryptoBirb, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, spoke about this possibility in a recent tweet, telling his followers that BTC must break and hold above $7,960 in order for it to have a chance at moving up towards $7,960.<\/p>\n

\u201c$BTC must reclaim 7960 to swing 9.1k (note bullish divergence). Early signal is 3D close above MA100. Anything below is MTF~5.4k-oriented,\u201d he noted while referencing the chart in the below tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
