BTC retreated further by 17% but made a higher low at $24,324.05, extending the demand zone now at $37,169.52. Thus making a formation of higher lows with receding higher levels.

As per the technical formation, a bounce is expected at the current price level. The immediate first target is placed at 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $40,756.05.

On the contrary, if the price breaks below the session’s low as a  shift in bullish sentiment then Bitcoin price could revisit the horizontal $36,000 level.
