The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, the price has created a large descending channel pattern since March. Yet, it has broken it to the downside, and the cryptocurrency is aggressively dropping toward the $52K support level.
The 200-day moving average is also trending around the $50K mark and could be Bitcoin’s last resort in case of a deeper decline. Either way, if the market drops below these levels, the downward pressure would intensify.
The 4-Hour Chart
Looking at the 4-hour timeframe, the price was rejected from the channel’s midline a few days ago. It has created lower highs and lows since, and has broken to the downside.
While things seem bearish, The Relative Strength Index has also entered the oversold region. Therefore, a short-term rebound and pullback toward $60K can be expected before a potential continuation lower toward $52K.

Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio
Bitcoin’s price has been dropping since its rejection from the $75K level. Many market participants are wondering when and whether the market will rebound. This chart can provide some potential answers.
This metric is the Exchange Whale Ratio (with a 30-day exponential moving average applied). It shows the ratio of exchange deposits by whales compared to all deposits.
As the chart demonstrates, the metric has recently increased significantly. This means that the whales have been rapidly depositing their coins in exchanges to potentially sell them. The resulting pressure is likely one of the contributing reasons for the recent correction. So, we can expect the correction to stop if the whale ratio declines once more.
