BTC price started the session on a muted note and fell lower quickly to retest the levels last seen in July. But, the price recovered swiftly and managed to gain the $32k mark. However, the current price action could be counted as a dead cat bounce in technical terms. The upside bounce seems limited as BTC retreated from the session’s high.
- BTC price crashes below $30k for the first time since July 2021.
- The bullish RSI divergence on the hourly chart suggests a feasible bounce back toward $34,000.
- However, the downside risk remains intact below $30k.
As of publication time, BTC/USD is trading at $31,600 up 5.07% for the day. The most traded and famous cryptocurrency is holding a 24-hour trading volume of $81,110,432,617 with whooping gains of 90%.
A rising volume with the gains in price is generally a bullish sign.
Another important parameter to understand is the Fear & Greed index which further fell to 10 from 11 in the last session due to the panic selling mood among investors.
BTC price remains vulnerable
On the hourly chart, the BTC price has a roller coaster ride since Thursday. In 10-day, the token depreciated by almost 21%. The downward momentum pushed the price near to the multi-month lows as the selling momentum still continued. The major support around $30k is being challenged by the sellers further, a rupture below may lead to an additional drop in price.
