Bitcoin news

To properly quantify these values, the BTC Difficulty Area uses a normalized standard deviation. Values above the band are associated with an upward trend, while values below that indicate a downward trend.
The diagram shows how BTC’s difficulty band has a historical relationship to price. It seems that if the value of this indicator goes down, the price of BTC will go down too. And when it goes up, so does the price
Bitcoin could soon lose the critical support level of $ 30,000.
In a recent tweet, Scott Minerd, chief investment officer at Guggenheim Partners, stressed that Bitcoin could soon lose the key support level of $ 30,000.
A tech rule to remember with Bitcoin: “Every time a support level is tested, it gets weaker.” That would mean that support for $ 30,000 could soon be lost.

He believes the market will get weaker with every test that takes place.
Previously, Minerd had predicted that Bitcoin could fall to the $ 15,000 or even $ 10,000 region by the end of June.
