On Saturday evening, the Bitcoin price started to show hints of weakness after a short bout of consolidation. As of the time of writing this, the leading cryptocurrency has dipped to $8,300 — a level which analyst Josh Rager has indicated as key for BTC to hold in order to maintain a formation of consecutively higher lows.
Although there are some expecting for Bitcoin to soon break under $8,300, potentially to establish new multi-month lows under $7,000, an argument has been posed that as long as $7,700 holds, $10,000 is within BTC’s grasp.

Bitcoin’s one-day Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a lagging indicator that tracks market trends and momentum, has crossed into the green after a precipitous drop to the most oversold levels since the December crash.

While many see this as a sign that Bitcoin will only fall further, even further than 40% from the year-to-date top of $14,000, Santiment argues that this can be interpreted as bullish. They wrote that historically, “low social volume has preceded large price upswings and bull runs, and high social volume has been [a] fairly reliable top indicator.”
