Bitcoin

Recently, the bitcoin (BTC) price started a major decline below the $38,000 level. The price declined sharply below the $35,000 support zone and the 21 simple moving average (H1).

The bears even pushed the price below the $34,000 level. It traded close to the $32,500 zone and is currently consolidating losses. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near $33,350. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $33,500 on the hourly chart.

The price must clear $33,500 and the 21 simple moving average (H1) to start a recovery wave. If not, it could dive further below $32,000.

NEAR Protocol

NEAR started a major decline after it failed to surpass the $20.00 resistance. The price declined steadily below the $15.00 level and the 21-day simple moving average.
