Bitcoin Price Forecast 9-October-2024
The critical resistance of the AB bullish wave is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, which lies at $61.700. If bears close and stabilize BTC/USD below the 61.8% Fibonacci, the current bearish momentum from $64,280 will likely spread to $59,800.
The 100-period simple moving average is the critical resistance to the bearish strategy. If Bitcoin’s price exceeds the 100-SMA, the downtrend strategy should be invalidated.
