A downside break below the $49,000 level could push the price towards the $48,800 support. Any more losses may possibly push the price towards the $47,500 support zone.
Recovery In BTC?
If bitcoin manages to stay above the $49,500 support zone, it could start a decent increase. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $50,000 level.
The next key resistance could be $50,800 and the 100 hourly SMA. A clear move above the $50,800 resistance zone could start a fresh increase. The next major stop for the bulls may possibly be near the $51,800 level.
