The bears will likely defend this zone aggressively, but unless the bulls give up much, a breakout will rise above $ 52.920. If so, the pair can rebound to $ 60,000.

On the flip side, if the price is falling from current levels, it shows that the bears are actively defending the 200-day SMA. After that, the pair can retest the critical support at $ 42,451.67. Breaking below this level could increase the advantage in favor of the bears.
