Bitcoin appeared to have been securely floating above support just earlier, but today, the picture has changed as the price has suddenly crashed to $42,500.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin had kicked off 2024 with some sharp bullish momentum as the market had been looking toward the potential ETF approvals<\/a> with hopeful eyes. The asset had only been at the $45,000 level not seen since April 2022 for just a couple of days before the price suddenly crashed.<\/p>\n The chart below shows how cryptocurrency has performed during the past few days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During this plunge, Bitcoin had briefly hit a low under $41,500, but the cryptocurrency has since seen a bit of a rebound as its price is now trading around the $42,500 level.<\/p>\n As is usually the case, the rest of the sector has also plunged alongside the original digital asset, with most coins registering drawdowns of even greater degrees.<\/p>\n Just before this crash, Bitcoin had been floating above a critical support line and appeared set to continue its recent bullish momentum.<\/p>\n In a post<\/a> on X before the crash, analyst Ali had discussed where the Bitcoin price might be heading after its break above the $45,000 level based on technical analysis data. Below is the chart that the analyst shared in the post.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the graph, Ali highlighted an Ascending Triangle pattern that Bitcoin appeared to have successfully broken out of with the price surge. An “Ascending Triangle<\/a>” refers to a continuation pattern of two trendlines forming a triangular shape.<\/p>\n One of the trendlines is a horizontal level made by connecting highs in the asset, while the other is a diagonal line that joins together higher lows. The pattern is “ascending” in its name as the overall consolidation between these two trendlines narrows towards the upside.<\/p>\n Generally, when the price retests the horizontal level, it could likely feel some resistance and form a local top. If the resistance is broken through, it could be a sign that the asset would now display some continued upward momentum.<\/p>\n Similarly, the diagonal line is usually a point of support for the asset, and sustained breaks below could be to watch out for, as they can signal that a bearish trend is taking over.<\/p>\nLooks like the coin's price has plummeted during the last 24 hours | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView<\/a><\/pre>\n
