Bitcoin looks set to end the month below a key long-term support level for the first time in three years.
The 21-month exponential moving average (EMA), which served as a price floor for five months straight, was convincingly breached on Nov. 15. As of writing, the former support-turned-resistance is located at $5,896, while BTC is changing hands at $3,650 on Bitstamp.
The drop below the EMA support marks the resumption of the sell-off from the record high of $20,000 reached in December, meaning the path of least resistance is to the downside. So, while an oversold bounce could be seen in the short-term, a recovery all the way back to levels above the 21-month EMA is ruled out for now.
