If $BTC.X continues to fall, how low could it go? 

That’s the main question analysts, traders, and investors want to know – especially going into the weekend. 🤔

Let’s take a quick peek at what the analysts are looking at. And it’ll be quick.

$20,370 – that’s the major support zone traders, investors, and analysts are paying attention to. Why? Four reasons:

  1. $20,370 is close to the psychological number of $20,000.
  2. $20,370 is the 50% Fibonacci retracement from the swing high of $24,262 to the low of the strong bar at $17,102.
  3. $20,370 is near the Weekly Kijun-Sen ($20,337).
  4. $20,370 is near the Weekly Tenkan-Sen ($20,267).

That’s a big chunk of technical support levels sitting right on top of one another. If it holds as support, analysts believe another leg up is likely.

However, if $20,370 fails to hold as support… well, that could be a warning that the bear market could continue. 🐻

And if you didn’t read or forgot about the Rising Wedge pattern, give it another look from Wednesday’s Litepaper

The drop was the most probable direction from a technical analysis perspective, even before the SEC’s Kraken decision.

I almost wrote she’d kill me, but if I did that, there’d probably be a SWAT team and an army of social workers making sure I’m ok.

One Way To Use Stocktwits’ Social Data Tools

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘volume precedes price’? It’s an old-school technical analysis 101 maxim. For example, if an instrument is in a downtrend but then you start to see volume tick up, the theory is that price will follow the volume. 🧑‍🎓

It’s what technical analysts call a leading indicator—a heads-up or a warning that the probability of change is high and that it might happen soon. Analysts and traders might apply that principle (volume precedes price) to the Stocktwits Social Data.
