BTC/USD analysis

  • BTC/USD broke support zone
  • Next sell target – 8000.00

BTC/USD continues to decline after the earlier breakout of the support zone lying at the intersection of the following support levels: 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the previous medium-term upward impulse (1) from February and the support level 9430.00 (which stopped the short-term A-wave of the active medium-term ABC correction (2) from middle of February.
