Bitcoin establishes new volume point of control below $17,000
Bitcoin, the dominant cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $356 billion, formed support at the $16,800 level. BTC recently climbed above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 200-day EMA. Bitcoin flipped its two long-term moving averages and formed new support at the $16,800 level.
Experts have identified a new 100-week point of control below the $17,000 level. @TrendRidersTR, a crypto analyst and trader, identified the $16,800 level as a critical BTC price support zone.
BTC/USD price chart
As seen in the chart above, the 100-week point of control is at the $16,800 level, the 200-week POC is at $9,200, and the 300-week POC is at $3,700. The POC is a key level for an asset as it represents the highest volume traded level in a cryptocurrency’s chart; it acts as a fundamental support/ resistance level.
The largest asset by market capitalization has been trading in an increasingly narrow trading range since the FTX saga in November 2022. Contrary to popular belief, Bitcoin price could continue its climb against the USD.
The expert was quoted as:
~16.8K is the new 100 Weekly POC for Bitcoin. In simple terms, in the last 100 weeks, this is the level where most volume has been traded, creating a potential bottom formation.
