The drop has seen Bitcoin slice through the $60,000 psychological level repeatedly shedding more than $10,000 from the ATH as seen on the four-hour chart.
The four-hour demand zone between the $58,527 and $60,876 levels offer crucial support areas that decide the direction taken by Bitcoin price.
A bounce from this support zone could bolster the bulls who are likely to push the Bitcoin price above the $60,876 major resistance level to tag the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) at $62,683. Flipping this level into support is likely to propel the bellwether cryptocurrency towards new record highs above $70,000.
