Trader and analyst Credible Crypto says BTC has hit a low time frame support at $22,243 and needs to hold this level to avoid further declines.
“Price has dropped to the low timeframe support as expected. Now the buyers have to stand firm here. If not, then my bearish target will be reached sooner or later… I will add to that too until we break the swing low at $21.373. I lean to the upside.”
