Bitcoin has faced some mounting downwards pressure today that has led it to its key support within the lower-$9,000 region This downtrend comes after a series of strong rejections at $10,000, and was triggered by news of a 2009 BTC wallet moving crypto around This decline has led the crypto to invalidate a previously bullish technical formation, and analysts are now expecting it to see further downside in the days ahead Bitcoin is rapidly approaching its key support that has been established between $9,000 and $9,200 over the past couple of weeks. The cryptocurrency’s ongoing decline comes after bulls tried and failed on multiple occasions to break the heavy selling pressure that exists just below $10,000. This decline has led BTC to see a technical degradation that is now opening the gates for it to see further downside in the days and weeks ahead. Some analysts are even targeting a move down towards $7,900. A previously bullish technical formation that the crypto was caught within has also been invalidated. Bitcoin Declines Towards $9,000 as Weakness Mounts At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down just under 6% at its current price of $9,150. This marks a notable decline from recent highs of over $9,800 that were set yesterday morning. Once news broke of a previously dormant Satoshi-era wallet from 2009 moving Bitcoin, investors grew fearful that an early adopter was preparing to offload a significant amount of their crypto holdings. This sparked a slight decline that led the crypto down into the mid-$9,000 region. Bitcoin’s ongoing regression was triggered by this news, but it has likely been perpetuated by the multiple swift rejections that it has seen at $10,000 throughout the past several weeks. This weakness has caused Bitcoin to invalidate a previously large ascending triangle pattern that some analysts had previously expected to give BTC a much-needed boost. “I don’t like this extra low tf rollover we just got. I will let this play out to a lower low under ~$9120 before officially declaring [the triangle] dead, but we don’t really have the solid uptrend I’d like for an ascending triangle any longer at this point,” one analyst noted.

Josh Olszewicz – a well-respected cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter – explained that the cryptocurrency could be positioned to decline down towards $7,800 in the days and weeks ahead. “1D BTC TK c-clamp says be careful with longs up here, we’re about as ‘overbought’ as we were in mid-Feb w/a similar setup. If we retrace, kijun is target at 7888. Tenkan at 9.1k also a weaker support. The longer price stagnates up here, the higher the likelihood of retrace,” he explained.
