In the last 48 hours, the Bitcoin price has witnessed intense selling pressure evidenced by the two long red candles in the daily chart. From $64714, the BTC price plunged 12.7% to currently trade at $56921, which the market cap fell to $1.28 Trillion. This downswing could be attributed to the negative outflow in BTC ETFs and uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later in the day. Will this correction trend extend below $50000?

Is Bitcoin’s Buy-the-Dip Opportunity Still Valid?
Over the past two months, the Bitcoin price sustained its position above the psychological level of $60000— a support floor accompanied by several technical marks such as 100-day EMA, 23.6% FIB level, and a lower trendline of the triangle pattern.
However, with a 6.1% intraday loss, the BTC price gave a decisive breakout below the aforementioned support allowing sellers to strengthen their position over this asset. If the selling momentum persists, the correction trend could extend another 11% before hitting the next significant support of $50600 coinciding with 38.2% FIB.
In theory, a retracement to the 50% Fibonacci level, which for BTC stands at $44,838, would still be considered a healthy correction, potentially setting the stage for a resurgence in bullish momentum. Thus, the Buy the dip opportunity is still intact for Bitcoin.
