Bitcoin slipped by 6% today and is now trading below the $40,000 mark in the indices. The top crypto shed all its weekly profits and is now at its weekly lows. Several analysts predicted that BTC could slip to $30,000 and start unending woes with a string of losses. Also, a new report from Bloomberg is out today that suggests BTC could nosedive straight to $26,000 if a “bearish flag” technical pattern plays out.
The report suggests that if Bitcoin slips below the $38,000 mark, it needs to hold on to its resistance levels of $36,700. However, if BTC doesn’t hold on to its resistance levels of $36,700, then the next stop could be a nosedive towards $26,000.
