A popular crypto analyst who goes by the pseudonym ‘Crypto Capo‘ had previously predicted that Bitcoin will crash below $23,000. The analyst has a new prediction for the king coin and this time it could be taken as a sign of caution for the users. Per Crypto Capo and traders who have spent enough time in the Bitcoin market, $20,000 was an important support for the king coin. In case, BTC slips from this level, the next support could be only found between $16,000 to $18,000.
BTC is currently trading between $20K and $21K and bearish pressure has been persistent which could result in some price action over the weekend. Crypto Capo told to his 376,000 followers on Twitter to stay cautious during these tumultuous times.
“If BTC breaks the $20k level, panic could be massive. Many people have stop losses below this level. Many others think it can’t break the 2017 ATH because it hasn’t happened before. It could easily reach 16k-18k if 20k breaks,” he tweeted.
The analyst also revealed that buying pressure for Bitcoin around $20K has reduced. “They are trying to defend the $20k level but demand is getting weaker and weaker. It won’t hold for long. How low we go when it breaks? $16k-18k is a good support zone. The supports for altcoins are much clearer. So my bids will be mostly there, and a small % for BTC and ETH,” he tweeted.
