BTC/USD 4-hour chart: BTC targets $42,000 next?
On the 4-hour chart, we can see the BTC price action preparing to break below the $44,000 support, which should lead towards the $42,000 previous significant resistance next.
BTC price has seen a substantial advance over the past month. After setting a new swing low around the $29,500 mark on the 20th of July, BTC/USD rallied more than 45 percent to the $42,000 mark.
From the resistance, BTC retraced to $38,000 and saw a further rally over the first half of August, this time reaching $48,000 resistance. However, bulls have lost momentum again as further higher highs could not be set last week.
What followed was a retracement from the $48,000 mark earlier this week, with the $44,000 mark currently holding the BTC price from further downside. Considering the bearish momentum over the past days, we expect BTC/USD to break below the $44,000 support later today and move to the $42,000 previous resistance, which will now be retested as support.
