The post Crypto Blood Bath: Bitcoin Loses $54k Levels, No Bullish Action in Sight appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin experienced a sharp price fluctuation, first rising to $57,000 and then dropping below $55,000 after the release of the U.S. jobs report, triggering volatility in the crypto market. This sudden price swing led to nearly $50 million in liquidations within an hour. Major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Ripple’s XRP, and Cardano also saw losses of 3% to 5%.
Bitcoin recently dipped below the support zone between $56,000 and $57,000 and is currently testing levels like $54,000. According to analyst Josh of Crypto World, the price is likely to consolidate around the $55,000 to $57,000 support zone before making a decisive move. If support holds, Bitcoin may see a relief rally toward higher resistance levels, but breaking these will be challenging without stronger bullish momentum.
Even if Bitcoin experiences a short-term rally, it faces strong resistance at several levels, including $59,500, the $60,000 to $61,000 range, $62,900, and finally a massive resistance around $64,500. If the price cannot break through these levels, it may get rejected and resume the downward trend.
Should Bitcoin drop below the critical support at $56,000, the next major support level would be around $54,000. However, at the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $54,000 levels and seems like it will lose this critical level anytime soon.
Taking a look at the Bitcoin liquidation heat map, he explained that recent price action has been choppy, with the market moving sideways. There is liquidity building around $55,000, which could influence price movement. However, the most critical area of liquidity lies between $59,800 and $60,000, marking a major zone of interest for traders.
