The trend for the long term now remains extremely bearish before any meaningful stabilisation in the prices. 480-minute chart of the crypto depicts the breakdown has already occured and the price target of this breakdown is around $70 - more than 50 perecent decline even from current levels.
Even on the daily chart the trend remains on the downside as the next critical support in the form of falling wedge's descending trendline support comes close to the target price mentioned above - $77 levels.
