There is also a declining channel forming with resistance near $32,800 on the same chart. The channel resistance is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $33,354 high to $32,208 low. A clear break above the channel resistance and then $33,000 could start a decent recovery. The next major resistance sits near $33,500.
More Losses in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to recover above the $33,000 and $33,500 resistance levels, there is a risk of a larger decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $32,200 level.
The main support is still near the $32,000 level, below which the price might easily dive towards the $30,000 level. Any more losses could set the pace for a drop towards the $28,800 level in the near term.
