However, the coin price is obtaining suitable support from the $21500 footing, suggesting a minor bullish reversal to the $22500 mark. The Bitcoin price possible approach to $22500 will validate whether the ongoing correction is sustainable or not.

Thus, the coin holders should closely observe the price behavior at the $22500 mark, as a possible reversal will signal the market sentiment shifted from buying on a dip to selling on rallies. Therefore, Bitcoin may witness a longer correction and plunge to the $20350-$20150 mark.

On a contrary note, a breakout above $2250 will indicate the buyer has not thrown the towel yet.
