Let’s take a closer look at the wedge formed on the daily timeframe. Support is at the level of $28-30 000, below which bitcoin last traded at the end of 2020. The upper boundary of the wedge is around $38 000. There is also an important resistance there, so the asset is unlikely to be able to overcome this range at the first attempt.
Bitcoin is likely to reach $37-38 000 in the coming weeks but then fall back to the lower boundary of the wedge. It should be taken into account that, at any moment, bitcoin can break out the wedge either upward or downward, under the influence of various unforeseen events.

Below $27 000. It did happen. In the last week alone there have been many negative events in the market. The main ones were the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and the UST stablecoin, the key rate hike by the Fed, and the release of updated inflation growth data in the United States. All of these factors contributed to pushing the bitcoin price back to the late 2020 level.
As the market is primarily driven by emotions, recovery is unlikely in the coming months. It will take some more time to find the bottom of the current decline, which could be well below the current rate. A strong pain point for many investors, including Microstrategy, the largest holder of BTC among public companies, is around $20-21 000.
