Bitcoin news daily: Data and price analysis for January 11, 2022

Bitcoin’s downtrend has reached strong support at $39,600. The price formed a Doji candlestick pattern indicating indecision among the bulls and the bears.

Both moving averages are sloping down and the relative strength index (RSI) is near the oversold zone, indicating that the path of least resistance is to the downside. If bears pull the price below $39,600, the selling could intensify and the BTC/USDT pair could start its journey to the next strong support at $28,805.

On the other hand, if the price rises from the current level, the pair could rise to the 20-day exponential moving average ($45,876). If the price turns down from this level, it will suggest that the sentiment remains negative and traders are selling on rallies. That will increase the likelihood of a break below $39,600.

The bulls will have to push and sustain the price above the moving averages to indicate a possible change in trend.

The chart shows that the selling momentum picked up on a break and close below $45,456. The bulls are attempting to arrest the decline at $40,501 but the recovery attempt is likely to face strong selling near the 20-EMA.

If the price turns down from the 20-EMA, the bears will attempt to sink the pair below $39,600 and extend the downtrend.

Alternatively, a break and close above the 20-EMA could push the pair to the 50-simple moving average. If bulls push the price above this resistance, it will suggest that bears may be losing their grip.
