Rocked by negative news and uncertainty &#8211; from Alamdea\u2019s bankruptcy to FTX\u2019s withdrawal freeze and the subsequently cancelled Binance takeover, to even the US midterm elections, BTC has been on a downtrend.\n<\/p>\n<p>Today, it hit a 2-year low near the $15,500 mark. With several supports broken and persistent fear in the market, it\u2019s important to identify possible bottoms. If its current low of $16,000 holds for the short term, Bitcoin may see some short covering and a relief rally that could see it target immediate resistances of $16,900 and $17,800.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div data-align=\"\" data-msid=\"95419030\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"midImg clearfix\">\n<figure class=\"imgBg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Chart-BTC (9) (1)\" alt=\"Chart-BTC (9) (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/msid-42031747,quality-100\/et-logo.jpg\" class=\"lazy gwt-Image\" data-msid=\"95419030\" data-original=\"https:\/\/img.etimg.com\/photo\/msid-95419030,quality-100\/chart-btc-9-1.jpg\"\/><span class=\"imgAgency\">ET CONTRIBUTORS<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rejections from here could see it visiting support between $15,500-16,200.
