Bitcoin (BTC/USD) struggled to sustain a small improvement early in the Asian session as the pair tried to get back above the psychologically-important 20000 figure after peaking around the 20795.11 area during a short-lived recovery higher. The short-lived rally fizzled out below the 20867.15 area, representing the 23.6% retracement of the depreciating range from 31549.21 to 17567.45. Traders recently lifted BTC/USD from the 17567.45 area, its weakest showing since November 2020. Stops were elected below the 17787.51 level during the ongoing selling pressure, a very important technical area that represents the 50% retracement of the appreciating historical range from 3858 to 31717.02. Stops were recently elected below the 20195.33 area during the depreciation, a downside price objective related to selling pressure that intensified around the 52100 area. If BTC/USD extends its ongoing pullback, additional downside price objectives include the 16990, 15502, and 14500 areas.
