Breaching the immediate support of $22500 has created a BTC dumping scenario, causing a sudden value decline in just a week. This price action is currently testing the support near $20700 that helped BTC gain upside momentum in the last week of July 2022. After the massive double-digit sell-off on August 19, 2022, buyers can be seen rallying to exploit the dropped price value of BTC to add more tokens to their portfolio.
While the latest red candle formation is sort of engulfing the gains made on August 21, 2022, buyers are now attempting to defend the $21000 level on a closing basis. Bitcoin ending its day above $21000 can once again initiate fresh buying, which can provide a scope of consolidation.
BTC’s price drop has affected other leading cryptocurrencies, and this scenario is not a single token factor but rather an industry-wide action. Talking about buying sentiment showcased by the RSI candle, we are witnessing a huge decline in Bitcoin sentiment. MACD fell true to its words, which indicated a potential for profit booking in the current swing as the buying rally was too steep.

Bitcoin price action on weekly charts indicates the previous buying zones of $21000 to aid in controlling the massive selling pressure that emanated from touching the $25000 mark. RSI has remained in similar zones as witnessed during the June 2022 lows, while the MACD indicator halts the creation of a bearish crossover in this time frame. Such an indication can be disastrous for the price action of BTC. MACD histograms are already showcasing a positive turnaround, and the short-lived positive indication could affect the duration of negative sentiment across BTC.
