BTC/USD Bears Again Eyeing 8877: Sally Ho's Technical Analysis 27 June 2020 BTC

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) sought fresh market sentiment early in today’s Asian session as the pair remained pressured below the 9500 level but remained above the psychologically important 9000 figure, after recently trading as low as the 8979.07 area.  Bids emerged around the 9076.92 area during yesterday’s European session but BTC/USD remains in striking distance of new June lows.  If selling pressure intensifies, longer-term traders are carefully observing the 8877.48 level, an area that represents the 23.6% retracement of the recent appreciation from 3858 to 10428, and decent Stops are likely in place below this level.  Traders tested this area on 15 June but did not have the strength to push the market below this level.   Stops were recently elected below the 9106.70 and 9086.97 areas during the sharp depreciation, representing the 76.4% and 78.6% retracements of the recent appreciation from 8895.01 to 9792.00.  Larger Stops were triggered below the 9056.57 and 9017.07 areas, representing the 76.4% and 78.6% retracements of the broader appreciation from 8632.93 to 10428.00.
