Analyzing this recent situation in the crypto market, an analyst discussed possible scenarios of both downturn and uptrend and pointed out critical price levels that could play a crucial role for the leading cryptocurrency BTC.
Analyst Highlights Critical Price Levels
Crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe, evaluating the recent market situation through a series of tweets, suggested that if BTC fails to surpass critical resistance levels in the short term, the price losses could continue down to $28,000.
On the other hand, the analyst also mentioned the uptrend scenario and stated that for the uptrend to gain momentum, the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin needs to surpass the $29,700 price level in the short term. The analyst pointed out the importance of critical data and referred to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) to be announced on Thursday at 15:30 (Turkey time).
