Bitcoin’s price lost 16% of its value on Monday

Bitcoin Analysis 

Bitcoin’s price closed its daily candle at its lowest level since December 16th, 2020 on Monday. When traders settled up to close Monday’s session BTC’s price was down nearly 16% and -$4,183.

Monday’s daily session also saw the highest daily volume on BTC since May 19th, 2021. 

Today we’re leading off our analyses with the BTC/USD 1D chart below from CryptoPatel. BTC’s price has clearly broken down from support at the $29k level and the measured move on BTC from the last breakdown was 29%. A move that resembles the prior breakdown could send BTC’s price back down to the 2017 bull market top just under the $20k level.

The primary target for bearish traders of the BTC market is obviously the $20k level and then the former ATH. Conversely, bullish traders seek to reverse course and retest the $29k level which was strong support for bulls for nearly a month.
