Bitcoin has fallen below $40k once more, wiping out over $200 billion from the crypto market


March 5, 2022 · By Muhammad Awwal
Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin’s price has been falling in recent days, nearly reversing all gains from the previous greenish week after losing over $6K in the last four days.

The global economic consequences from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to weigh heavily on a majority of the world’s financial markets, resulting in another day of seesaw price movement for Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market on March 4.

According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, after reaching a high of $41,000 in the early hours of March 4, a wave of selling in the afternoon pushed the price of bitcoin below $39,100. 

As a result of the market dump, about 36k traders were liquidated across the cryptosphere in just 24 hours, bringing the total amount liquidated to more than $90 million.

Here’s what a few analysts on Twitter have to say about the future of Bitcoin as the world enters a moment of increasing economic turmoil. 

Independent market expert Scott Melker provided more insight into which technical signs traders are watching. 

$BTC

Humans and bots alike are watching the 50 MA on the daily to see if it will hold.

Got some bids there.

Another independent market expert, Michaal van de Poppe, gave a series of key resistance zones to watch if the price of Bitcoin recovers over the weekend.

#Bitcoin correcting as tensions around Ukraine are increasing, and fear is increasing too as #Gold is rushing upwards.

Might be seeing a bounce, if we do, I'm looking at $43.1-43.5K as a potential resistance point.

Overall shaky markets, #altcoins dropping too. pic.twitter.com/nRydGOhvBH

A weekly closing below the green diagonal, according to Rekt, will confirm Bitcoin’s short-term resistance. 

If #BTC performs a Weekly Close below the green diagonal to confirm it as resistance…

Then we may see continued consolidation in to the apex of this triangle

In which case this will precede price compression

He went on to say… 

#BTC could dip to as low as ~$38000 and still maintain a bullish outlook going forward$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin
