Rekt Capital is monitoring the situation:
In a very detailed post, CrediBULL Crypto highlighted that “The orange zone below at $58,000-$60,000 is a “last chance” level to keep us from seeing much more downside.”
He also predicted that things could get ugly ($53,000-$54,000) as the next major area of demand. However, he adds “Hold it and technically we still have a higher low above the $56,000 lows from last month.”
The trader added, “Even if this level is held we now have to look to build a new impulsive structure to the upside since the prior impulse was invalidated.”
