All eyes must now be watching BTCUSD's flag support shown in the primary chart above. Since BTC's all-time high at $73,794, BTC has had a steady, yet volatile, pattern of consolidation that has fit within a downward sloping flag channel, often called a bull flag. Yet a bull flag isn't a bull flag anymore if the lower channel breaks down decisively. So that's why all eyes are on this support now.
Interestingly, the yellow line in the primary chart above is a Fibonacci .618 retracement at $51,985. This .618 retracement coincides to some extent with flag support today. If the .618 retracement cannot provide support along with the descending channel's return line, then one can expect lower prices to retest, at a minimum, the major swing low on January 23, 2024.
With an escalation in geopolitical conflict, prices can be more volatile than normal. This can mean that support / resistance boundaries are broken more easily. And false rallies and dips can be more fierce and seductive. So be careful out there!
Even if relief rallies ensue, price may continue to struggle into next year. But don't rely on anyone's predictions—including mine! Try to stay objective, unbiased, and continue to watch what price is telling you—without trying to force your assumptions into the price action. In other words, what price is doing a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, will give you more information than virtually any trader or technical analyst can tell you.
Lastly, here are some longer-term levels that can be watched in the event price breaks down further from this flag / channel.
