At the time of writing, Bitcoin price seems to have retreated under this pressure towards the $50,000 level. BTC price teeters around $50,600 as the support from the wider market aims at pushing the price of the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation to retest the $53,600 resistance.

“Bitcoin rejecting at $51.6K. That’s an important level, just like $53.5K–55.5K is,” Tweeted Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe.

“The trend still up since the recent crash, through which $49.6K is an area that I’d like to see hold if we want to retest the $53.5–55.5K zone.”

Hence, a daily closure above the $51,600 level could bolster the bulls wo might push the BTC price to tag cross above the $52,000 psychological to tag December 03 close around $53,600. This would represent an approximately 6% upswing from the current price.

However, nerves are still intense among crypto traders coupled with claims that current gains could be temporary and that the dip is yet to come.

No wonder the over 1% dip in Bitcoin price of the last 24 hours suggests that the bears are not done with pulling the price lower.

Therefore, if BTC/USD slips below the $50,000 level, it could trigger massive sell orders that are likely to take the price deeper. However, the big crypto might find support at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) around $46,708.

The movement of the MACD below the zero line in the negative region accentuates this pessimistic outlook.
