Bitcoin has lost 1% of its value over the last few hours and trades below $103,500, potentially dipping towards the $100k support level amid bearish sentiment.
The coin dropped below $104k as bears gained control in the cryptocurrency market, leading to significant liquidations mostly on long positions amounting to $450 million.
Technical indicators suggest a downward movement in the near term, with the 4H Bitcoin MACD in the negative zone and the RSI at 44, indicating selling pressure.
The market appears caught between bullish long-term sentiment and short-term uncertainties, including macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to impact the crypto market, contributing to the bearish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin.
If bearish momentum persists, Bitcoin could test the $100k support level, potentially dropping further to $90k if the support is breached.
In contrast, a bullish scenario could see BTC target the nearest liquidity level at $106,672 and potentially rally towards $109k should bullish momentum prevail.
