# Bitcoin's Immediate Future: Analyzing Prospects for the Next 24 Hours
Written on
Chapter 1: Current Market Overview
In this analysis, we delve into Bitcoin's anticipated movements within the next 24 hours.
Bitcoin has recently positioned itself below the lower boundary of its channel formation and under the 200-EMA. This setup could potentially lead to a severe Bear Flag Formation, which poses considerable risks. If such a breakout occurs, Bitcoin may plummet into the support range of $45,000 to $42,500, where a rebound could occur.
Despite a late-night surge that allowed Bitcoin to surpass the critical $42,000 resistance level, it has yet to breach $43,400 and establish a new high, which is crucial for maintaining the current trend. Another downturn appears imminent.
Section 1.1: Resistance Levels and Trends
The hourly chart for the BTC/USD pair indicates the emergence of two negative trend lines, with resistance points around $43,900 and $44,400 (data sourced from KC). As the price approaches $44,000, a potential decline could occur, possibly reaching $42,000 in the near term. Trading volumes might increase in the upcoming 6–8 hours as the European market opens.
Following a significant drop from the $47,000 resistance zone just 12 hours ago, Bitcoin's price fell below the support levels of $46,000 and $43,500, settling under the $43,000 mark and trading as low as $42,903. Currently, it is attempting to recover near $43,000 but is unlikely to maintain a position above $43,800–00.
Subsection 1.1.1: Potential Resistance and Recovery
On the upside, $43,900 serves as an immediate resistance point. The recent decline from a swing high of $46,845 to a low of $42,904 is nearing the 24.8% Fibonacci retracement zone, indicating that the next resistance level could be at $43,650. A significant resistance zone is also forming around $45,000; if trading volume surges, it will impact the resistance levels on the chart.
For a new upward movement to commence, Bitcoin needs to surpass the resistance levels of $44,600 and $45,300. If this occurs, the price could rise to the $46,300 barrier by tomorrow—Friday.
Section 1.2: Outlook for Thursday
Thursday appears to be a challenging day. Should Bitcoin fail to exceed the $44,000 resistance level within the next 12 hours, it could continue its downward trajectory. Immediate support lies between $43,300 and $42,000.
The next speculative support level is around $42,900. A drop below the $42,800 support zone could amplify selling pressure, potentially driving the price down to $42,000.
Chapter 2: Strategy and Recommendations
Given that Bitcoin has already experienced a considerable decline from its peak of $48,000, the breakout from the flag formation could trigger a rapid reversal. However, due to a lack of trading volume over the next four hours, it is advisable to exercise patience rather than hastily entering a short position.
It’s crucial to monitor the bearish conditions and observe how the market reacts in this phase before making further assessments. This moment may prove advantageous for strategic buying.
For those looking to identify potential buying opportunities, we anticipate a decline to commence after the European markets reopen, which could push prices up to around $43,800–00 before a subsequent dip to $42,000, expected by Friday. Additionally, we speculate that Rune could reach $8.9, Sandbox might hit $2.85, Mana could go up to $2.28, and Theta may approach $3.3.
LUNA could be an attractive buy around $103 and below, with ADA projected at $0.99.
