• BTCUSD drops to a fresh 2-month low

• Currently tests the crucial 200-day SMA

• Momentum indicators hover near oversold territories

BTCUSD (Bitcoin) has been experiencing a extensive selloff since the beginning of June, forming a series of fresh lows. Despite a minor rebound last week, the price’s decline has accelerated in the past couple of sessions, with the bears challenging the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on Thursday.

Should Bitcoin violate that crucial hurdle, the April bottom of 56,483 could act as the first line of defence. Lower, the decline could come to halt at the February resistance region of 52,850. Sliding beneath that floor, the price may face the January high of 49,050.

On the flipside, if buying pressures re-emerge, the recent deflection point of 63,800 could come under scrutiny. Conquering that barricade, the bulls could attack the April resistance of 67,270. Even higher, the double top region of 71,955 might prove to be a tough barrier for the price to overcome.

In brief, BTCUSD has come under severe selling pressure lately, falling below the 60,000 mark and challenging the 200-day SMA. Clearly, a decisive break beneath that crucial obstacle could speed up the retreat.
