Bitcoin faces key level to “break” bear trend

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD recovering some overnight losses after dipping to $23,369 on Bitstamp.

“Bitcoin sees a sweep of the high and rejects a little there, but that doesn’t mean we’ll go to $12K,” he reasoned in a tweet on the day.
