The Bitcoin price plunged 10% in the last 24 hours to trade at $53,987 as of 00:44 p.m. EST on trading volume that surged 96% to $53 billion.
This comes amid a crypto crash triggered by a rate hike in Japan that spooked investors, triggering the panic selling of riskier assets. Overall, cryptocurrencies sank by about $570 billion, according to data from CoinGecko.
The sell-off witnessed in the crypto market coincides with the broader slide in equities in Asia-Pacific markets and with the U.S. Nasdaq sliding 3.4% last week into correction territory.
The stock crash is partly tied to disappointing economic data in the US, including earnings, a weaker-than-expected jobs report, higher unemployment, and a declining manufacturing sector.
The price of Bitcoin is now trading at its lowest since February, having plummeted to below $54,000.
Bitcoin Price Aims For A Bullish Trend Reversal
The Bitcoin price has been on a downtrend in the last week, plunging 24%, within a falling channel pattern, according to data from GeckoTerminal. Bitcoin dropped below the channel’s lower boundary today to touch the $50,000 mark before rebounding to the current price.
Major BTC indicators show that the price of Bitcoin is currently on a bearish trend, with the token trading below both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The SMAs now act as the immediate resistance zone at $60,394 and $65,159.
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped below the 30-oversold level on the 1-hour chart, currently trading at 19. This indicates that sellers have an upper hand, with the asset now being undervalued.
If the bearish stance continues, the price of Bitcoin could drop further to the $49,000 support level.
Conversely, the bulls could use this opportunity of the asset being undervalued to start buying, which could push BTC up, breaching the $60,394 and $65,159 resistance zones. In this scenario, the bulls could be targeting prices above the $67,000 resistance level.
