Bitcoin has had a torrid run of late. The Black Monday, as now many experts are calling it, has seen Bitcoin’s value suddenly tumble down to US$22,141.26 with a trading volume of US$68,204,556,440 on 13 June. On Tuesday, the leading crypto slid further setting a multiyear low of US$20,824 leaving the crypto market at US$941.64 billion with a volume of US$144.29 billion.
On 14 June, Bitcoin slid to a low of US$20,824, its lowest level since December 2020. Cryptocurrencies led by Bitcoin have been on a fast downslide since the tightening of the monetary policies around the world, which has drained liquidity from global markets. To make things worse, the Terra collapse in May further dented the market before it intensified after the 13 June crash with BTC/USD losing 22.4% of its value since the beginning of this week.

The MACD is also indicating a nosedive going ahead with the blue line creating significant gap with the signal line. It would an understatement that bears are in full control with no immediate signs for the bears to close the gap.
In fact, Bitcoin’s 50, 100 & 200 EMA (exponential moving averages), does indicate a slight improvement. But for that to happen, it needs to break the first resistance level of US$24,581.41.
