BTC/USD Outlook!

Bitcoin announced a corrective phase after registering a false breakout above the descending pitchfork's upper median line (uml) and above 68,564 former all-time high. Its current drop below the descending pitchfork's median line (ml) opened the door for a larger downside movement.

Testing and retesting the median line (ml), staying under this broken support may signal a potential drop towards the 50% (54,300.34) retracement level or even lower towards the 61.8% retracement level, around the 50,000 psychological level.

Coming back and stabilizing above the median line (ml) could signal that the downside movement could be over.
