“So we have the current double top rejection in BTC, so we have to really record levels if we go down,” popular Crypto trader Tony be warned Twitter followers in a new analysis of the three-day chart.
“The two levels are $25,000 & $20,000, and they are major psychological levels. Take notes.”

Others are ready and waiting for volatility to come back into the market, but are not interested in whether Bitcoin will eventually break through or drop to the test levels from earlier in the year.
Among them is popular trader and analyst Toni Ghinea, who envisions a make-or-break decision for the recent narrow price range in the coming week.
“I expect big moves with $BTC next week. 31-32k is resistance. 29k is support. Keep it simple,” he said summarized.
“If there is a breakthrough above, DO NOT be euphoric. We’re really in the high end. If there is a nuke the next key area is 27-28k. If it holds, be prepared to buy a pullback. If it busts lower than 19-23k it’s still on the card. Play level after level. There he is.”
Previously, Cointelegraph reported on the importance of various trend lines that act as support and resistance.
