Bitcoin news
Popular analyst Justin Bennett believes Bitcoin (BTC) could fall further in the short term.
In analysis On YouTube, Bennett noted that whenever BTC has had a liquidation in the past year, the top crypto asset tends to rebound before falling below the bottom of the liquidation candle and then bouncing back up.
The analyst points out that Bitcoin’s latest liquidation candle, dated December 4th, tested the $ 42,000 area.
He said that Bitcoin is about to fill the lower wick of this candle.
But the question is, will BTC completely fill this wick? Or will it create bearish momentum around the $ 45,000 region.
Now Bennett predicts that BTC could fall to $ 40,000 and then move higher in January.
