Bitcoin volatility spikes to six-week high amid slump to $7,750

Bitcoin has endured its most volatile week since late November with price swinging wildly between $7,400 and $8,400.

It is currently trading at $7,750 following a major rejection and subsequent sell-off from the $8,400 level of resistance.

BTC has however bounced by 2% from the low of $7,650.

Several analysts are still predicting that Bitcoin will surge through the $8,400 level of resistance in the coming weeks, with $8,850 emerging as a potential target.

However, price action to the upside will only come to fruition if Bitcoin can form a level of support by closing numerous daily candles above the $7,900 region, which held during September and on several occasions in the 2018 bear market.

The 200 exponential moving average (EMA) on the daily chart also serves as a tough hurdle to surpass for Bitcoin, with it clearly acting as a point of resistance throughout Tuesday’s rally to $8,400.

It is currently residing at $8,150 and has been a historic point of support and resistance throughout Bitcoin’s 11-year history.

Should Bitcoin reach this level again, another rejection in price could also be on the cards, which would almost certainly cause a dive in price back towards $7,400 and $6,800. This is reiterated by the rapidly falling relative strength index (RSI).

The daily RSI is now below 60 after topping out at 68, and while there has been a slight uptick in the past 24 hours, the immediate trend is almost certainly down.
