Looking at the daily chart, it can be easily seen that the market is back in the red zone as BTC/USD is posting minor losses of 0.55% on the day after commencing the trading at $8,945.

What is the Next Direction for Bitcoin?

However, Bitcoin just plunged below $55,000 one more time, marking $54,568 as the current daily low at the moment. Does this mean that Bitcoin (BTC) is finally leaving the significant $56,000 level and searching for a new low? Nevertheless, looking at the declining daily volume candle, together with the steady but stable recent Bitcoin price action, it can be assumed that a stronger move may be coming up soon into the market.

At the time of writing, BTC/USD is struggling to maintain the $60,500 level and if the coin follows the downward trend as the RSI (14) leaves the overbought zone, the next supports may likely come at $50,000, $45,000, and $40,000. On the upside, by maintaining the current level of $56,181 and further movement could go above the upper boundary of the ascending channel to send the price to the resistance levels of $65,000, $70,000, and $75,000 which will be well above the channel.
