An Uptrend Is Still Possible
Katie Stockton of was on CNBC with Navellier. Stockton talked about the head and shoulders formation of the charts. She alluded to the fact that the targeted level had already been broken. With short-term momentum still being on the downside.
This could be indicative of a bear market coming. Breaking the $30k support would put negative pressure on the market.
But according to Stockton, long-term momentum is still on the high side. Long-term trend falling gauges are still positive. And even if the $30k support was broken, there is still strong support at $27k.
This is in contrast to Navellier. Who believes the price is headed for $10k. Stockton thinks that there is still ample support above the $10K level.

The $30K support level has been important in holding up the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin had broken this level last week and promptly risen back up. But it was enough to cause panic in the market. And people sold out their coins.
Major resistance is still being mounted above $30k. Traders and investors alike are determined to keep the coin from falling below this. Making this a crucial point in the making or breaking of the bull or bear market.
Regardless, breaking below $30k is still a long way from $10k. The price could very well fall now. But there will be another mounted resistance at the $27k price range to hold up the coin.
