After an extended period of sideways trading in the mid-to-upper $3,400 region, Bitcoin (BTC) has failed to break through its nearest resistance level at $3,500, which has led the cryptocurrency to drop to its support level at $3,400.<\/p>\n
Although BTC has yet to break decisively below this level, one analyst believes that the lack of buying pressure at this price point signals that further losses are to come in the near-future, and that Bitcoin must see increased adoption in order for it to see steady price gains.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading down nearly 2% at its current price of $3,410. Earlier today, it briefly touched $3,400 before seeing a very slight bounce to its current price levels.<\/p>\n In late-January, Bitcoin fell to $3,400 before quickly bouncing to $3,500, which confirmed the existence of a new trading range between $3,400 and $3,500, and BTC has yet to break decisively above or below either of these price levels.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s drop was not entirely unexpected, as multiple analysts had previously noted<\/a> that its inability to break above $3,500 could signal a technical weakness. Despite this, if buyers are able to hold $3,400 as a level of support, Bitcoin may be able to retest its resistance level at $3,500.<\/p>\n In a recent tweet from The Crypto Dog, a popular cryptocurrency analyst, he noted that he will only go long on BTC if it is able to climb above $3,520, which could signal a temporary reversal of its current downtrend.<\/p>\n \u201cNo position on $BTC (aside from long term holdings I’m not planning on touching for years) but I’ll take a long in the lower grey zone or look for an entry if we get a break out past ~$3520,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheCryptoDog\/status\/36898561<\/p>\n Although traders and investors alike have largely hoped that Bitcoin\u2019s current downtrend is simply the result of a price cycle that will ultimately be naturally reversed, one analyst believes that BTC<\/a> needs to garner greater adoption as a currency in order for its price to begin climbing.<\/p>\nBitcoin May Need to See Increased Adoption in Order for its Price to Climb<\/strong><\/h2>\n
