Bitcoin is already in the oversold region of the market

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has taken another tumble after eight days of struggling in a tight range. As of press time, the BTC price has fallen to $42,887.

There is a chance that the price will hit the previous low at $41,634. This was the previous low of the December 4 price collapse. After that, sellers could push the BTC price to the former psychological level of $40,000. However, if the BTC price holds above the $42,000 support, it would be a sign of resumption of the uptrend. Otherwise, the downtrend will continue to the downside. The recent price drop was caused by a one-week consolidation between $45,600 and $48,000.
