On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, a key bearish trend line is forming with resistance near $27,550. The downward movement could potentially accelerate below the $27,000 support in the near future.
Bitcoin Price Reacts to Rising Israel-Hamas Tensions
The decline in Bitcoin’s price can be attributed to the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas. As the conflict intensifies, with over 1,200 deaths reported by Israel, investors are showing a cautious approach towards Bitcoin.
The downward movement in price is evident as it falls below the $27,500 pivot level. Additionally, there has been a break below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $27,185 swing low to the $28,284 high. The crucial support zone at $27,200 has also been breached.

The next major support lies at $26,500, and a break below this level could push the price further down to $26,000.

Hot Take: Bitcoin Faces Bearish Pressure Amidst Rising Geopolitical Tensions
Bitcoin’s price is currently on a downward trend as it fails to gain momentum above key resistance levels. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has added to the bearish sentiment in the market. With Bitcoin trading below crucial support levels and forming a bearish trend line, there is a possibility of further losses in the near term. However, if Bitcoin manages to break above resistance levels and geopolitical tensions ease, we may see a potential upward movement towards $28,500 and even $30,000.
