Bitcoin saw large amounts of volatility in recent months. The fall beneath the $29k range lows saw another range begin to develop over the past three months. Highlighted in yellow, this range extended from $24.5k to $18.6k.
The mid-point of the range lay at $21.5k. The $21.5k zone has also acted as a good support and resistance zone over the same time period.
