Main levels to watch
The BTC/USD 4 hour chart is bearish as Bitcoin has underperformed in recent weeks. The technical indicators show that Bitcoin is currently in a bearish trend.
The MACD line is below the neutral zone, indicating bearish momentum. The 14-day relative strength index of 26 shows that Bitcoin is currently oversold.
If bearish momentum continues, Bitcoin could dip below the first major support level of $26,762 before the end of the day. In the event of an extended bearish period, Bitcoin will trade below the $25k level for the first time in nearly a year.
However, if the bulls regain control of the market, Bitcoin could retest the USD 30k resistance level soon. The USD 33k resistance level should limit further upward movement in the near term.
