Overhead Supply Hints BTC Price Correction Below $27000

A potential reversal from the overhead resistance could push the BTC price back to $25000; should you sell?

BTC Price

Over the past week, the Bitcoin price action has primarily been horizontal, underscoring its difficulty in breaching the $28,500 resistance. Current geopolitical unrest in the Middle East, arising from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, has further added to the market’s uncertainty, positioning Bitcoin for a potential bearish pivot. A shift in this direction might not only interrupt the recent selling stagnation but could also precipitate a more profound correction.

Is Bitcoin Heading to $25000?

  • A bullish breakout from the upper trendline could kick-start a fresh recovery
  • The golden crossover between the 50-and-100-day EMAs could intensify the bullish momentum.
  • The intraday trading volume in Bitcoin is $11.5 Billion, indicating a 56% gain.

Underpinned by a persistent resistance trendline, the Bitcoin price trajectory has been on a downward course for nearly two months. During this descent, each approach to this trendline coincided with an uptick in selling pressure, subsequently driving the asset into pronounced pullbacks. 

Currently, with the BTC price lingering below this resistance trendline and manifesting patterns of rejection candles, the charts are signaling a likely continuation of this bearish sentiment. At present, the coin is valued at $27,631, recording a 1.17% decline within the day. 

Should the anticipated bearish swing decisively breach the 200-day EMA and an emergent support trendline, sellers could be emboldened, propelling the BTC price into a deeper correction. 

Such a move could see this coin’s value recede by approximately 10%, potentially testing the psychological threshold of $25,000.

Will BTC Price Resume the Recovery Trend?

While the short-term projection for Bitcoin price remains bearish, the Dow Theory of Financial Markets reflects that no trend remains the same. Hence, investors bullish on Bitcoin might consider awaiting a definitive bullish breakout above the current resistance. Such a breakout would not only signify the culmination of the prevailing bearish phase but also herald the onset of a renewed bullish cycle. A subsequent rally post such a breakout could propel Bitcoin price toward the $30,000 mark.

  • Exponential Moving Average: The 50-and-200-day EMA wavering around the $27000 mark increases the support strength of this level.
  • Vortex Indicator: A bullish alignment between the VI+(blue) and VI-(orange) slope indicates a buyer holds enough momentum to rechallenge the overhead trendline.
