BTC/USD Finishes 2022 Off 64%: Sally Ho’s Technical Analysis – 1 January 2023Bitcoin (BTC/USD) capped a very bearish year with additional weakness early in the Asian session as the pair continued to trade below the psychologically-important 17000 figure after recently trading as low as the 16326.16 level. BTC/USD was generally trading in the 16880.44 region late last year. This is the 23.6% retracement for the depreciating range of 21478.80 – 15460.
