Traders identify $41K as Bitcoin’s key support to hold for the short-term

While the long-term sentiment remains bullish, traders warn that BTC must hold the $41,000 support to avoid a sweep of the $38,000 level.

Bitcoin faced another day of bearish pressure on Sept. 29 as the impact of China's crypto crackdown and uncertainty about the regulatory landscape in the United States continue to weigh heavily on Bitcoin (BTC) and some of the larger-cap altcoins. 

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the early morning rally above $42,000 lost steam by midday as the price collapsed back near the $41,000 support level where bulls are now defending against a further price decline.

Here’s a look at what traders and analysts are saying about Bitcoin price today.

“Boring” Bitcoin market

Despite the recent volatility, the current price action is considered to be “boring” by market analyst and Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe, who posted the following tweet highlighting that Bitcoin price remains above the crucial support levels he views as important.

Based on the chart above, van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin could trade sideways in a consolidation pattern for a couple of weeks before heading higher.

As for what might excite the analyst out of his current malaise, van de Poppe said that a price breakout above $43,800 would signal that the current correction is over.

Traders expect BTC to revisit itslower support levels

According to pseudonymous Twitter user 'Sheldon the Sniper', Bitcoin currently has support at $41,160 and there are additional supports at $39,000 - $40,000 and $37,00-$38,000.

Sheldon said:

“Stock markets showing some weakness, short term support on $BTC, if we lose it, next possible zone is $38K - 40K. Right now I have taken a lot of buys and just being patient with the market.”

Short term bearish, long term bullish

The concern about a possible retest of lower support levels was echoed by crypto Twitter trader ‘Crypto_Ed_NL’, who posted the following tweet outlining a drop to the support level near $41,250.

As highlighted by Crypto_Ed_NL, a previous tweet where the analyst stated "I think we'll do a correction when Binance comes back online" was a little premature and predicted in this follow-up tweet that BTC could see another leg down before the bounce occurs.

This has turned out to be a prescient observation because the price of BTC is trading at a price of $41,300 at the time of writing.

Despite the recent market downturn and increased volatility, Crypto_Ed_NL still feels that the long-term projections of a higher price for BTC remain intact.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $1.827 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 42.5%.

Bitcoin breaking new highs in Q4 will ‘temporarily turn alts to dust’ — Analyst

Things will get exciting in quarter four, but not before a convincing floor is put in across crypto, analysts say this week. Bitcoin ( BTC ) was busy losing its overnight gains on Sept. 27 as resistance continued to prove too much for bulls.  BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView Analyst on Bitcoin: “Right now, we’re stuck” Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView  showed BTC/USD dropping to around $1,000 below overnight highs of $44,400 on Bitstamp on Sept. 27.  The move constitutes a rejection at a “critical” zone to break, Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe explained, with $42,000 now the key level to hold for a higher low. Bitcoin is acting in an increasingly narrow range, he summarized in his latest YouTube update. “Right now, we’re stuck,” he said, pointing to $47,000 as next should the $44,600 zone be reclaimed. On the downside, the zone between $38,000 and $40,000 remains valid for a bounce, while a co...
