Bitcoin is Vulnerable Below $41,000 Support: Here is why
Jan 20, 2022 at 10:30 //
PriceBitcoin (BTC) price is in a downward correction, but it is limited to a narrow range. The bears have shown their superiority in the price battle over the bulls.
Bitcoin bulls have failed to keep the price above $43,000, while the bears continue to push Bitcoin to the low of $41,000. Nevertheless, the bulls have successfully defended the low at $41,000 as they have bought the dips at every opportunity. That's why BTC/USD is trading at $42,023 as of press time.
However, if the bears push the price of BTC below $41,000, the largest cryptocurrency will fall to a low of $39,600. Buyers will do everything they can to defend the crucial support at $39,600. On the other hand, if the BTC price falls and recovers above $39,600, the market will see an accelerated move to the high of $47,000. The bullish momentum could extend above the psychological price level of $50,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks $39,600 support, it will fall drastically to a low of $30,000. This would plunge BTC/USD into a deeper correction. Over the past 48 hours, Bitcoin has fluctuated between the $41,600 and $42,700 levels.
