BTC price action trades within a strong decline over the last weeks. This was a result of a rapid decline at the end of June when BTC/USD made a strong push lower below the $29,000 mark and retraced to the $36,500 over the following weeks.
However, bulls could not sustain momentum, and a clear lower low was set on the 4th of July around $36,000 resistance. From there, BTC/USD moved lower with several lower highs set over the past weeks.
Last week strong support was found around $31,000, where the market consolidated for several days. A brief spike to the $32,500 mark was set, and a rapid decline started from there at the end of the weekend.
Yesterday, BTC/USD declined further, breaking past the $31,000 support and reaching the next major support area around $29,500 earlier today. BTC price rejected further downside, and we can expect BTC to rally over the next 24 hours back towards the $31,000 resistance, which previously acted as a support.
Once the $31,000 resistance is retested, we will likely see another strong push to the downside as bears likely want to finally break the major support area around $29,000-$30,000.
BTC Price Analysis: Conclusion
BTC price analysis indicates reversal to follow later today as the market has reached a major support area of around $29,500 over the last 24 hours and further downside is rejected as of now. Therefore, we expect BTC/USD to regain some of the loss seen over the last 24 hours and retest the $31,000 support as a resistance.
