Two Scenarios Map Out Bitcoin Price Crash After Recovery

[Redator]

After hitting a new all-time high, the bitcoin price has since retraced towards its pre-pump levels from last week, completely erasing its rapid gains. As a result, the bears seem to be reclaiming control once again, with sellers dominating the market. While expectations for another sharp recovery abound, crypto analyst Melikatrader has outlined two possible scenarios for the pioneer cryptocurrency, with both ending in bearish reversals toward established local peaks.

Lower Trendline Break Points To Bearish Developments

The analysis highlights the two possible directions that the Bitcoin price could be headed in after the fall from its new all-time highs. Both scenarios start out with a bullish push upward, and then a bearish decline. However, with each one, there is a different possible peak before resistance kicks in.

In both cases, the first trigger is the fact that the Bitcoin price had broken out of the lower trendline of the channel. This comes after it had initially broken the ascending channel that it had been trading inside of, with the result being higher highs and higher lows. Thus, the break below the trendline means that bearish pressure is beginning to dominate.

With the bearish pressure mounting and sellers taking control, there are now two ways that the price could go. The first of these is that it continues to rally and then gets rejected above the $118,000 level. This is a supply zone, where sellers could unload massive amounts of BTC into the market and beat back the price.

In the second scenario, the price does continue to rally even after hitting the first supply zone. This takes it into the next supply zone just below $120,000, which is currently sitting at $19,700. However, the end remains the same as that of the first scenario, where sellers are likely to dump and send the Bitcoin price plummeting again.

How Low Can The Bitcoin Price Go?

As the analyst highlights, the peak of both scenarios aligns with retracement levels where sellers could be waiting to dump. Given this, they both have a similar bottom after crashing. From here, the downside target for both scenarios is placed at the $115,800 target.

This is because this is where previous demand and support had been during the previous retracement/correction. Given this, it is likely that buyers are likely to step back in at this level, making it a possible bottom and the launch point for the next rally.
