And what now?<br>→ the price tested the USD 30k level, and the bears confirmed their presence at this level, pushing it down;<br>→ the price may find support from the level of 28,000, which previously served as resistance, which was noticeable in the candles from the end of August to the beginning of October;<br>→ the price decreased by approximately 50% of the increase in A→B.</p><p>If the USD 28k level does not help bulls maintain the progress made on the rumored approval of the application from BlackRock, then the price may return to the descending channel (shown in red), making the prospect of reaching a capitalization of USD 15 trillion even more elusive.</p>
