- Bitcoin remains in a large consolidation phase in 2024, with no decisive price movement, despite recent market fluctuations.
- A sharp drop below $94K puts Bitcoin on track to test its next support level at $85K, signaling bearish momentum.
- The RSI nearing oversold levels suggests Bitcoin may reverse soon, though ongoing corrections could push prices even lower.
Bitcoin (BTC) is still far from a decisive movement since the beginning of the year in 2024. The Rainbow Chart shows that the cryptocurrency has now been oscillating without exiting the range in the middle. For his analysis, analyst Daan Crypto Trades shared his views on the market, stating that Bitcoin is still in an even bigger consolidation phase.
Daan pointed out a possible deformation area at the current price level. He mentioned that another range came with the prices ranging between $115,000 and $150,000. It could trigger an increase in the number of retail investors in the market which increase the focus on Bitcoin. However, it is equally important to note that Bitcoin has yet to complete the ongoing consolidation phase.
Bitcoin Faces Ongoing Decline
Bitcoin price fell this week and pushed below $94K crucial support level. On Monday, its value was at $91,552 and recorded a fall of 4.89%. This downward trend persisted to Tuesday to the detriment of the coin with BTC shedding an additional 3.14%. By the end of Tuesday, BTC had hit a low of $86,050.

At the time of this writing on Wednesday, it is trading at about $89,000. The cryptocurrency fails to develop any signs of support as the bears continue to dominate the market. If such correction occurs then the Bitcoin may head down to the next support level at $85,000. Many traders will likely keep an eye on this level as they anticipate whether it will be broken or not.
Reversal or Further Decline?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at daily chart currently stands at 30. This places Bitcoin in a critical level, indicating that is close to oversold level. Although this can be interpreted as a signal for a reversal, the RSI may stay below this level for some time. This may in fact happen meaning that a long-term correction will see prices going even lower than the current level.
However, there are still some optimistic observers regarding these challenges. Now many people are waiting for it to rise to higher prices in the future. These conditions may be a great opportunity for getting into the market for those who invest for their own retail accounts. Nevertheless, it is important to be careful due to the volatilities that are still present in this market.
The trend towards even further consolidation and possibly lower prices will define the further evolution of BTC. Currently, there is a slight consolidation and further developments are most likely to be seen in the price in a week or two. Though it is hard to determine whether BTC is going to make a comeback or is going to dwindle further.
