Bitcoin’s price was able to bounce back quickly following yesterday’s dip.

Unlike the equities market where many traders in profit might be looking to cash out on today’s bounce back, BTC investors have already recognized the strong foundation of support following more crashes in the digital asset’s price in 2024.

Today, Adler shared another post via his X account, telling followers he hopes that everyone’s alive following the Black Monday that saw the BTC price dropping below $50,000.

He also shared the current support and resistance levels for the coin as follows:

  • MA200D: 61.5K
