Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, briefly tumbles below $40,000 for the first time since Sept.22, 2021. However, some indicators show that the two-month bearish trend might be close to ending.

Bitcoin finds ‘pivotal’ support at $40,000: Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer

Mr. Tummer, an expert in macro investments at Fidelity, claimed that Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to a major support level near $40,000. Near this level, Bitcoin becomes ‘oversold’. Three TA indicators confirm this status; Stochastic Relative Strength Indicator (Stochastic RSI) is the most reliable of them.

Stochastic RSI indicates the power of momentum for bulls or bears; while it drops below 20/100, it signals the ‘overbought’ status. This might serve as an indicator of the coming bullish reversal of Bitcoin (BTC) price.

Also, the zone between $30,000 and $40,000 is a crucial one for many Bitcoin-friendly corporations. As GetBlock.io covered previously, many Bitcoins (BTC) were purchased by corporations near this zone.
