The Bitcoin Halving: This Time it’s Institutional – coming to a crypto portfolio near you
News
Buckle up.
Bitcoin this afternoon slid under US$30,000 – a level technical analysts have been saying for weeks was crucial to defend, lest the original cryptocurrency plunge back down to US$20,000 or so.
BTC’s ascent in late 2020 and early 2021 was so meteoric that there precious few resistance levels to serve as support on the way down before then, analysts say.
Bitcoin 30k support just fell through, how low will we go? I’m guessing 17k-25k. Then 20’s until the next halving.
