Cryptocurrency market reacts with negative
How this will affect the broader cryptocurrency market remains to be seen. But, as we can see right now, the quotes of digital assets experience pressure today and a dip. This may be caused by the fact that Bitcoin saw a bear reaction from the $97,700 zone, which right now serves as major resistance for the price of the leading cryptocurrency.There's an outlook for Bitcoin, that now there is an attempt to form a classic visual pattern “head-shoulders,” which will be activated at the breakdown of the neckline — around $92,000.
If that happens, from here we can expect a deep correction to the area of $80,000-$70,000. This will mark a 30% decline from the relevant all-time high for BTC, which is a healthy textbook correction needed for continuation of the upward trajectory.
