BTC price has “critical” long-term support

Data from Coin-Crypto Markets Pro and Trading Display showed BTC/USD circling around USD 46,600 on Saturday after a clear bounce to long-term support.

The pair had plunged as low as around $44,300 on Friday, but these were short lived as positive sentiment took control of Wall Street’s opening.

For Coin-Crypto contributor Michaël van de Poppe, intent on maintaining the new flipped support, the odds of attacking $50,000 were high.

“Critical area held up for Bitcoin, in which continuation upwards seems likely,” he said In summary to Twitter followers on the day.

“If we revisit the $45k range, I think it’s a sign of weakness and we’re going to go into $40k area. If we don’t, it’s likely to be $50k next week.”
