Bitcoin Price Analysis: Can $BTC Bulls Defend $26000 Support? Experts Predict “No”

Any attempts from buyers or sellers are getting rejected and therefore, the BTC price has remained in a fixed range stretched from $27500 and $26684. It is better for new traders not to enter into such volatile price action and wait for a clear breakout.

BTC price witnessed a significant downtick today and registered a 1.7% intraday loss. The coin price currently exchanges hands at $26754 and showed a breakdown attempt from the aforementioned range support of $26684.

A breakdown below $26684 with daily candle closing would result in Bitcoin price sliding to the next significant support of $25265-$25171, registering a potential loss of 6%. However, the BTC price may remain bullish in the long term until the long-coming support trendline(black) is intact.

On a contrary note, a breakout above the range resistance of $27500 will trigger a short rally of around 3% to hit the overhead trendline near $28200.

Will Bitcoin Price Hold At $26000?

The Bitcoin price is actively taking support at the $26684 level preventing the sellers from extending the current correction phase to the lower levels. However, if the market sentiment shows no improvement a breakdown below the aforementioned will cause a sharp fall below $26000.

• Exponential Moving Average: The 50-day EMA slope moving close to the range resistance of $27500 and 100-day EMA $26684 support accentuates the importance of these chart levels.
• Moving Average Convergence Divergence: The MACD(Blue) and signal(orange) lines went flattish below the neutral line highlighting an indecisive price movement amid a longer downtrend.

Experts Predict Short Term Downfall For BTC Price

As Coingape reported, renowned trader Peter Brandt identified the ongoing consolidation in Bitcoin price as a famous bearish pattern called Flag/pennant.

Under the influence of this bearish setup, the coin price is likely to witness a significant downfall. The bearish thesis will get invalidated if the BTC price closes above the mid-swing top.
