Bitcoin Price Downtrend Far From Over, Why BTC Could Test $15K

Bitcoin price failed to clear $18,000 and started a fresh decline. BTC is showing bearish signs and it might soon decline towards the $15,000 level.



  • Bitcoin started a fresh decline from the $18,000 and $18,150 resistance levels.

  • The price is trading below $18,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $16,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

  • The pair could resume its decline below the $15,500 support zone in the near term.


Bitcoin Price Resumes Drop


Bitcoin price attempted a recovery wave above the $17,500 resistance zone. However, BTC failed to gain strength above the $18,000 resistance and stayed below the 100 hourly simple moving average.


A high was formed near $18,155 and there was a fresh decline, similar to ethereum, bnb, and ripple. The price declined below the $17,500 and $17,200 support levels. The bears pushed the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $15,555 swing low to $18,155 high.


Bitcoin price is now trading below $18,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $16,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.


The price also spiked once below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $15,555 swing low to $18,155 high. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $16,800 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $17,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
