Bitcoin Price Decline

Bitcoin has started a significant downturn, falling below $86,500. Currently, BTC has dropped nearly 10%, with expectations of testing the $80,000 support level soon.

• Bitcoin struggled to surpass $86,500, leading to its recent decline.
• The price is currently above $85,000 and the 100-hour simple moving average.
• A bearish trendline is forming resistance at $83,200 on the hourly BTC/USD chart.
• If the pair trades below $81,000 and $80,000, further declines could follow.

The Ongoing Bitcoin Drop

After failing to maintain momentum above $88,000, Bitcoin started to decline significantly, falling below both $87,200 and $86,500. Bears forced the price below $85,000.

Fortunately, a major bearish move was avoided, with a low established at $81,000. However, the outlook suggests additional downside potential. As of now, the price is trading below $83,200 and the 100-hour moving average. If Bitcoin can hold above $80,000, it might try to rally again. Immediate resistance lies near the $82,000 mark, while the first big resistance level is near $83,200, correlating with the 23.6% fib retracement level from the recent high of $90,438 to the low at $81,000.

If Bitcoin manages to close above the $83,200 resistance, it could see further movement upwards. In such a case, it might test the $85,000 resistance, potentially leading price action toward $85,700, which is the 50% Fib retracement level from the previous swing high and the low mentioned earlier. Bulls may face challenges around the $87,000 and $87,500 points.

What Lies Ahead for BTC?

If Bitcoin cannot breach the $83,200 resistance zone, it may lead to another downturn. Immediate support is around the $81,000 level, with significant support further down at approximately $80,500.

Nearby, the support level at $80,000 could be key; any further losses might push the price toward $77,000 in the short term. The critical support area appears to be at $75,000—falling below that could make it hard for BTC to recover soon.
