As the weekend comes to a close, the cryptocurrency market has once again instilled fear among traders. Despite a brief bounce that raised hopes, the market has seen significant retraces. Bitcoin, in particular, has faced substantial declines.
As highlighted by Santiment, an analytic firm, over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has dropped by 2.3%, contributing to a weekly decline of 8.6% and a staggering 18.4% drop over the past month. The broader market has also been affected, with most altcoins experiencing even larger dips.
The current price of Bitcoin stands at $55,735.74, reflecting a 3.46% decrease over the past day. This downward trend is evident on the price chart, which shows Bitcoin dropping from approximately $57,730 to its current level. Although there were minor fluctuations and brief recoveries, the overall trend has remained downward. This decline has brought renewed fear into the market, overshadowing the brief period of optimism.
The $55,000 mark appears to be a significant support level. Bitcoin has tested this level multiple times, showing some resistance to further declines. If this level fails to hold, the next key support is at $54,000. Historical data indicates that the price has previously bounced back from this level.

The 1-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 30.47, indicating that Bitcoin is currently oversold. This suggests that the price may be due for a correction or a potential rebound in the near future. However, the 1-day Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) trading below the signal line suggests that there may be further downward momentum in the short term.
