BTC’s price is still trading below the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines after it attempted a recovery from the December 16, 2022 selloff yesterday. The daily RSI line is now sloped negatively towards oversold territory, and is positioned below the daily RSI SMA line. This is a bearish flag that indicates that BTC’s chart is more bearish than bullish currently.

In addition to the bearishness seen in the daily RSI indicator, the 9-day EMA line is also on the verge of crossing bearishly below the 20-day EMA line.

The crypto analyst, Daan Crypto Trades (@DaanCrypto), shared his take on the crypto market leader’s price. According to a tweet made by the analyst, if BTC breaks below $16.5k then BTC’s next price target will be the “next high volume node at $16.2k.”

The analyst added that if BTC’s price drops below the $16.2k level, then there is a good chance that its price will go down and test “the lows once more.”
