Bitcoin

As the price of Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) continues to move in a choppy trend, <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> analyst Michaël van de Poppe has revealed the flagship decentralized finance (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/liquidity-mining-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>) asset’s potential movements based on holding or failure to hold a specific price zone.Indeed, the <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/cryptocurrency-trading/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto trading</a> expert observed that Bitcoin’s must-hold zone is currently between $26,800 and $27,000 and that failure to remain here would mean that Bitcoin would “probably cascade towards &lt;$26,000 for a potential bullish divergence,” as he explained in a <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1658359359489859584" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a> posted on May 16.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/4890f47d14ab45fcbba5862005e84080.png" />Bitcoin price action analysis.

As the latest data demonstrates, Bitcoin is successfully holding above this crucial support level.Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
