Bitcoin has experienced some immense turbulence throughout the past few days, with buyers attempting to hold it above $10,000 as selling pressure begins mounting.
This has done little to offer clarity into its mid-term outlook, but it does suggest that some serious downside could be imminent in the near-term.
Where it trends next may depend largely on its continued response to $10,000, as its price has been oscillating above and below this crucial level throughout the past several days.
A sustained break below this level could strike a blow to its market structure, also forcing it beneath its 200-day moving average.
One analyst believes that this will open the gates for a move down towards $8,100 in the near-term.
Earlier today, sellers attempted to invalidate the strength Bitcoin has shown around $10,000, leading the cryptocurrency’s price to slide all the way towards $9,900.
This level has proven to be strong support on multiple occasions throughout the past few days, and this time was no different.
If bulls are able to continue ardently defending the support are between $9,900 and $10,000 that has been established throughout the past few days, there’s a strong possibility that BTC will spring higher in the near-term.
While speaking about the importance of $10,000, one analyst noted that a sustained break beneath this level – coupled with a break below BTC’s 200-day moving average – could cause it to decline significantly lower.
He even believes a move to $8,100 is in the cards.
“If 10k & the 200EMA doesn’t hold, looks like 8.1k,” he explained.
