Following the market-wide decline on October 10, the leading cryptocurrency has struggled to initiate a definite recovery towards its previous peaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In actuality, the Bitcoin price movement continues to face ongoing bearish pressure, declining to a new low of approximately $103,000 on Friday, October 18. As uncertainty reigns in the market, investors are left contemplating whether the bull rally has concluded or if the sluggish movement is merely a temporary setback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent forecast suggests that the current technical status of the BTC price might provide clues regarding its forthcoming direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><b>BTC Faces Risk of More Significant Correction If It Breaks $99,900 Support<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a post dated October 17 on the social media site X, Glassnode <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/glassnode\/status\/1979117705723592726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">submitted<\/a> an intriguing assessment of the existing Bitcoin price configuration. The renowned crypto analytics organization disclosed that the flagship cryptocurrency is currently situated between two significant support areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This evaluation relies on the Glassnode Technical Pricing Model, a chart featuring several technical indicators, including the Pi Cycle indicator, the Mayer Multiple, the Yearly Moving Average (MA), and the 200-Week Moving Average. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per Glassnode, the Bitcoin price is presently trapped between the Mayer Multiple ($107,400) and the Yearly MA ($99,900).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/G3c8wO0WsAEsH30?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"3200\" height=\"1800\"\/><\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: @glassnode on X<\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-price-still-has-room-for-upward-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Mayer Multiple (200-Day Simple Moving Average)<\/a> is a well-known technical indicator frequently associated with the pivot point between a bull and bear market. Meanwhile, the 365 Day SMA provides a long-term benchmark for high-timeframe market momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the latest decline, the Bitcoin price fell below the 200-day Moving Average, indicating a potential transition from a bullish market state to a bearish one. While BTC remains above the 365-day MA, the leading cryptocurrency must maintain its position above this threshold to stabilize the current trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, investors may want to monitor the BTC price, as a drop below the $99,900 mark could signal significantly greater challenges for the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency.
