Bitcoin [BTC] fell below the $30k mark, and the $28.7k was a level of support that has held for nearly a month. Could Bitcoin be pushed lower, or will a reversal come into play? This would likely have an impact on ApeCoin [APE] in the hours to come.

The H4 chart shows a band of resistance (red box) that has consistently rejected the upward advances of APE over the past month. Therefore, it is likely that going forward, another rejection can be expected.
Fibonacci retracement and extension levels were plotted based on APE’s drop from $7.48 to $5.93 and showed the 23.6% and 61.8% extension levels to lie at $5.57 and $4.98. There is a long-term significant level of resistance at $5.95.
Over the next week, the $5.6-$6 could be revisited. However, it is a region of bearish dominion. Hence, a move lower could materialize once more.
