    Bitcoin Dips $300 And Recovers As Altcoins Continue The Mini-Season: Wednesday Market Watch

    Author: Jordan Lyanchev

    Last Updated Jan 22, 2020 @ 09:56

    After last week’s surge to nearly $9,200 and the following retracement, Bitcoin has been trading mostly in a range between $8,500 and $8,750. Yesterday, it noted a quick dip to $8,480 on Bitstamp and immediately surged back to over $8,700, which is where it currently stands.

    If Bitcoin’s bullish 2020 price movements are to continue, it has to break the first major resistance level of $8,730, which is also the 38.2% Fib level. If successful, $8,900 will follow, which is the Golden Fib of 61.8%.

    Alternatively, $8,400 serves as a support line and further down is the $8,000 level, which is also a strong psychological point.

    Even though it seems that Bitcoin has stabilized around $8,700, its dominance over the market has reduced to 65.7%, which is the lowest point in 2020. Combining this with the rising alternative coins, the community speculates on whether or not a new altcoin season is already in the making.

    Ethereum (+1.41%) is just a shy of $170, while Bitcoin SV continues its remarkably positive year with another 4.6% gain to $319.
