Bitcoin Price Prediction: Breaking Below $29,000 to Hit New Low Since July, Where's the Next Support Level?

Last night at 20:00, on the Bitcoin (BTC) 1-hour chart, a large bearish candle broke through $29,000. Immediately after, the bulls attempted a rebound but only managed to form a long lower shadow without reclaiming the $29,000 level.

While the bears continued to exert selling pressure, the bulls retreated. At the time of writing, Bitcoin plummeted to a new low since July 2023, reaching $28,300.

Currently, BTC has entered the middle of a range, which serves as a psychological support level but can only provide limited buffering and possibly a temporary bounce. However, based on the weekly chart, Bitcoin is likely to continue its downtrend, with a high probability of retesting the bottom support level at $25,000.

In July, BTC mainly traded sideways, allowing some altcoins like DOGE and TRX to maintain stability and even show independent trends. However, after the recent drop and new lows in nearly two months, these altcoins have also followed the downward trend.

In the absence of significant positive news, the price movements of various coins are closely tied to BTC. Especially during BTC's decline, panic selling is triggered, and the bulls of other coins lose all resistance.

Next, BTC's potential retracement may lead mainstream coins (excluding ETH) to hit new lows in almost three years, while smaller coins may experience continuous declines. Therefore, it is important to hedge or exercise other risk control measures.
