Bitcoin is currently trading at $20,417 as the smaller time frames converge, resulting in price movement that resembles a stalemate. The bears successfully established a closure through the 8-day exponential moving average in the latest 8-hour candle.
Many traders may have initiated a long position in BTC upon first making touch with the moving average near $20,200.
As a result, a drop below $20,200 could result in another liquidation event.
The present trading range is only a 38.2% retracement according to a Fibonacci retracement tool encompassing the strongest section of the surge last week.
If the bulls fail to retain their ground, the 61.8% retracement level at $19,900 will be the next likely target.
The trend will be jeopardized if the 61.8% Fib level fails, with bearish targets reaching the $18,900 liquidity zone.
A break above the current swing highs above $21,085 will invalidate the bearish view. If the bulls can break through the barrier, a similar rally to last weeks could occur. A 10% increase toward $22,400 would occur from such a shift.
