BTC has now broken down below the $7,000 level, which could be a legitimate sign of concerns for investors right now. However, there are some recent developments that we need to consider before making our next moves:

India is looking to crack down on cryptocurrency
Major banks around the world have placed bans on credit card purchases of Bitcoin (available on Coinbase)
The stock market just experienced its worst week in two years
The Federal Reserve may look to hike interest rates once again

What this means: There is a market-wide panic that might have started a cryptocurrency sell-off, but that doesn’t mean this is an “end of the world” scenario.

What’s Next For BTC

At the time of writing, BTC has bounced back above $7,000, so this seems to be a newly established support level after the recently stated $8,000 and $10,000 levels were generally accepted by investors.

The good news is that it is still trading above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level (a good indicator for support levels), so a rebound is still likely.

Again, investors need to be patient as the entire market is in disarray at the moment, and a testing of the previously stated $9,150 resistance is still likely.

Looking at the technical indicators:

MACD — this indicator is showing a bullish sign as the signal line approaches the MACD line
Volume — volume is picking up in the last few hours, so there could be a movement up
Major resistance level — $9,150
Major support level — $7,000
