On Tuesday, August 24, Bitcoin price retreated to $49K following its $50K correction last Monday. This phenomenon made cryptocurrency crash as well.

Last Monday, Bitcoin traded over the $50,000 resistance level, however, no rising continuation happened.
An analyst said that there is a break under Bitcoin’s $50,000 and $49,800 levels.
The bears lifted the price below the 50% Fibonacci retracement zone of the upward moves to the $50,506 high from the $48,098 low.
Also, there was a break under a key bullish trend zone with support near $49,500. This is based on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Now, as Bitcoin trades in the $49,000 level, it stays within the 100 hourly simple moving average.
An analyst stated that the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level uphill movement to $50,506 high from the $48,098 low acts as a support.
He added that if there is a downward break under the 100 hourly simple moving average, Bitcoin price could continue to fall.
Its on-the-spot support is near the $48,500 level and its next key support is just about the $48,250 level.
In addition, if Bitcoin proceeded to crash, it could slide towards the $47,300 support zone in the near run.
However, BTC can begin a new increase if it moves above the support area of $48,250. On the uphill zone, its immediate resistance is next to the $49,500 level.
