Bitcoin Dropped, Could Start a New High if Stays Over $48K

On Monday, August 30, Bitcoin, which is the world’s largest cryptocurrency, dropped at $47K. Based on the analysis, it could start a new high if it rose and stayed above $48K.

Currently, Bitcoin plummeted 0.59% to 47,977.50 with a market capitalization of $901.98 billion.

It has a 24-hour volume of $589.45 million with a low of $47,821.02 and a high of $49,404.83.

Earlier in the day, Bitcoin was trading over $48,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Also, there was a major bullish trend that attempted to form with support close to $48,500 according to the BTC/USD pair hourly chart.

Analysts are expecting that the next key support will be near the $48,000 level and the 100 hour simple moving average.

This is just about the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the uptrend movement to the high of $49,657 and from the low of $46,486.

An analyst said that the price of Bitcoin could proceed to fall if there will be a downtrend break under the support zone of $48,000. 

Additionally, the next big support is just about the level of $46,550.

He also said that they are expecting a fresh increase once Bitcoin climbed at $48,000 earlier in the day.

It is because BTC broke the resistance level of $49,000 and settled over the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the price of Bitcoin fell at the moment and it failed to gain strength over the level of $49,500.

Based on data, a high was created near $49,657 before it began a downward trend where a drop under the $49,000 support level happened.

Therefore, the Bitcoin price shifted below the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level of the uptrend movement to $49,657 high from $46,486 low.
