Analysts flag Bitcoin price levels to watch after LFG sells 80K BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) needs to hold current levels and work to reclaim higher ones to avoid a crash in the $20,000 range, the latest analysis warns. 

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD still failing to cement $30,000 as support on the May 16 Wall Street open.

The pair had seen fresh losses after the weekly close at $31,300 — this, in itself, disappointing market participants after sealing a record seventh consecutive red weekly candle.

"If this turns out to be the case, Macro Range Low could flip into resistance to again reject price to lower levels," he explained.
