Crypto news: Twitter CEO busy making BTC ‘Internet‘s currency’
Updated
Bitcoin (BTC) continued to trade sideways, prompting discussions in the cryptospace on whether the market is experiencing a dip, correction, start of the bear cycle, or a new market reality.
The biggest cryptocurrency traded between $56,000 and $58,000 in London morning hours.
Alghoritmic forecasting website Wallet Investor puts the cryptocurrency king's current support levels between $55,062.10 and $51,886.00; and resistance range between $58,238.20 and $61,414.30.
Analyst and founder of cryptocurrency education platform Eight, Michaël van de Poppe, said bitcoin still have some space to sink further while still remaining in a bull cycle: “As long as bitcoin’s price sustains above $43,000–47,000, the market can continue in a bull cycle, and, as a matter of fact, in the lengthening cycle that we think we could be seeing.”
He dismisses recent concerns about bitcoin falling below $60,000. “The price of Bitcoin has dropped beneath $60,000, as a result of the recent correction. Through this, the all-time high resistance of May 2021 didn’t flip as support, but that isn’t a bad thing for the markets overall,” van de Poppe adds.
