Bitcoin price fills CME futures gap but forecasts say $25K may be next
Bitcoin (BTC) hit new intraday lows on April 21 as traders warned that $25,000 might come next.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD struggling to preserve $28,000 as support on Bitstamp.
The pair looked “weak,” in the words of one analyst, as overnight events failed to resurrect any sign of its previous uptrend.
#Bitcoin is currently showing weakness. Broke back in the range, lost one of the crucial levels.Final crucial level is at $27,600. Could take liquidity beneath, but needs a fast recovery. If not, and no break of $28,800, then I suspect we'll see $26,200. pic.twitter.com/TuCaFq8eIk
Amid local lows of $27,828, prognoses for Bitcoin now focused on a potential return to the area around a key trend line.
“Bitcoin testing our key local demand at 28k and not getting the best reaction. If this level is lost, 25-26k is likely tested but this is no cause for concern,” Credible Crypto summarized alongside a YouTube video.
The video further described a return to $25,000 as “absolutely fine” and still an example of “a little bit of a deeper pullback” rather than a significant trend change.
The area around $25,500 constituted Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average — a support level originally lost in 2022 and only reclaimed in recent weeks.
A slightly more optimistic Crypto Tony nonetheless eyed the potential for a long position on the day.
“Approaching a high volume node + the EQ of his range. I am looking to play a long scalp here once I see the bulls stepping in,” he told Twitter followers.
The return to $28,000 meanwhile "completely" sealed a gap in CME Group's Bitcoin futures.
