If Bitcoin breaks below the support level of $91,583, it will decline further, with $85,610 becoming the next key target.
Bitcoin fell sharply today, triggering a broad decline in the cryptocurrency market. Over the past few days, this leading cryptocurrency has faced greater selling pressure, undermining its attempts to break through the $100,000 mark.
Bitcoin struggles to maintain key support levels.
Over the weekend, Bitcoin showed signs of weakness, with its price falling below $98,000 on Saturday and below $96,000 on Sunday. These losses set the stage for key movements on Monday.
Despite a strong opening for Bitcoin, reaching $99,000, it failed to maintain upward momentum. Bearish forces quickly intensified, hindering its advance towards the psychological milestone of $100,000.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin has dropped to an intraday low of $90,400 but has partially recovered to $92,380.
Meanwhile, market analyst Ali Martinez emphasizes in his analysis that $91,583 is a key support level for Bitcoin. Martinez identified critical Fibonacci retracement levels using a 12-hour chart and drew insights from the TD Sequential indicator.
The tool is designed to detect potential trend reversals or weaknesses, indicating that the support level of $91,583 may be at a stalemate. Analysts note that if this level is broken, Bitcoin may decline further, with the next significant target being $85,610.
