BTC/USD Tests Technical Resistance at 51279: Sally Ho’s Technical Analysis 9 December 2021 BTC

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) sought to add to its recent recovery early in the Asian session as the pair appreciated to the 51250 level after trading as low as the 48650.02 level during the North American session, with the intraday high representing a test of the 78.6% retracement of the depreciating range from 51995 to 48650.02.  The pair continues to orbit the 50725.92 area, representing the 50% retracement of the depreciating range from 59118.84 to 42333.  Negative market sentiment pushed BTC/USD as low as the 42333 level last week, representing the pair’s weakest print since early October.  Selling pressure commenced around the 59114.84 level late last week and many Stops were elected below downside price objectives during the selling pressure, including the 56533, 56080, 55735, 54295, 54114, 53748, 53600, 53046, 52351, 51322, 51171, 50185, 49361, 47400, 47426, 44974, and 44667 levels.
