“A stable price is necessary to maintain a store of value & we’re on the right track.”

What do the bulls say? will they charge?

If the range gets broken, as stated by this crypto enthusiast, “If price breaks and holds below the yellow line, that will translate to a horrible Loss of Value.”

Given the way Bitcoin ETF rejection got the bears in action, investors are fearful of this range getting broke down as commented by CryptoReigner,

“I fear the SEC can easily take out that line with another timed ETF FUD just like the took out $6800 SUPPORT in the first attempt like a cakewalk.”

Also, this can further bring out the bulls back in the town as stated by another crypto enthusiast, “A descending triangle can also form a bullish reversal.”

Greenspan also shared another Tweet where he talks about how not just crypto market but fiat currencies, stock and commodity market also shared a dip.

He further commented,

“I think 6.8 is definitely a possibility – but man, it will need some volume push to get over that.”

In his recent Tweet, he shared,

“#BTC will go to 6.6K plus or minus a couple thousand.”

Well, that’s the running sentiment right now. The Bitcoin price can move in any direction, though breaking the $6,600 seems not to be a possibility in the short term, there is no telling which way the price will go!
