BTC/USDT 4-hour Technical Analysis (Source: TradingView)
Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart against USDT shows that the cryptocurrency has been attempting to exceed the $25k price level, but bears have been pushing it below that threshold, causing a downtrend. Despite this, BTC’s price is hovering close to the 200-day MA, indicating market uncertainty and indecision about the future direction of the cryptocurrency.
Numerous investors predict a potential pullback to $21k, followed by a bullish run. This forecast could come to fruition if the current BTC price breaks through the 200-day MA and the support at $21,872.98.
As Bitcoin’s price continues to fluctuate, it remains to be seen whether it will rebound or experience a further decline. Traders and investors must keep a close eye on the market and watch for any changes in the cryptocurrency’s movements in the coming hours and days.
