Bitcoin price continues declining on Friday after falling more than 15% this week.


Ethereum price closed below its daily support level of $2,359, continuing its downward trend. 


XRP is approaching its daily support at $1.96; a firm close below would continue its downward momentum.


Bitcoin (BTC) price continues declining on Friday after falling more than 15% this week. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) followed BTC’s footsteps and declined by nearly 24% and 21%, respectively.


Bitcoin bears aiming for the $73,000 mark


Bitcoin price broke out of its prolonged consolidation phase, slipping below the $94,000 support level and closing at $91,552 after a 4.89% decline on Monday. BTC continued its correction by 8.2% in the next three days and closed below its $85,000 support level on Wednesday. At the time of writing on Friday, it continues its sell-off, trading at around $81,000.


If BTC continues its correction, it could extend the decline to test its next support level at $73,000.


The daily chart’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator reads 21, below its oversold conditions and points downwards, indicating significant selling pressure but technically may be due for a potential reversal or bounce. However, traders should be cautious as the RSI may remain below oversold levels and continue correcting.
