Bitcoin has entered a firm bout of sideways trading in the days following its recent meltdown from highs of $8,000 to lows of $3,500. The rebound that occurred in the time following this intense selloff led the crypto into the lower-$5,000 region, which is where it has been trading at ever since.<\/p>\n
It now appears that the recent selloff led the benchmark cryptocurrency to plummet below the lower boundary of a critical support region, with its retest of this level leading to a grave rejection.<\/p>\n
This seems to suggest that BTC will see further downside in the days and weeks ahead.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading down just under 1% at its current price<\/a> of $5,350, which marks a slight decline from daily highs of $5,600 that were set yesterday when bulls attempted to propel the crypto past the resistance that has been formed around this region.<\/p>\n Importantly, the rejection at this level further confirms that this is the upper boundary of its newly established trading range, with the cryptocurrency finding some notable support around $5,000.<\/p>\n In the near-term, it does appear that both bulls and bears have reached an impasse, with Bitcoin being stuck in limbo as its market participants attempt to catalyze some momentum.<\/p>\n It is a strong possibility that where it trends in the days ahead will be dependent on how the U.S. equities market trades when it reopens tomorrow, which could be a positive thing for Bitcoin if bulls are able to extend the massive momentum the stock market incurred this past Friday.<\/p>\n Teddy, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, explained in a recent tweet that he believes the crypto\u2019s recent rejection<\/a> at a previous key support level could spell trouble for what comes next.<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin: Just spotted this. We created a channel 270+ days ago 1) Price respected support and resistance well 2) Price broke out 3) Miserably failed upon retest of resistance as support 4) Support is now resistance? Looks like a textbook rejection,\u201d he noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeddyCleps\/status\/96126465<\/p>\nCould a Dire Rejection at This Key Level Spell Trouble for BTC?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
