Updating X subscribers on two BTC price scenarios, he suggested that $34,500 would in fact hold as support.

“In other words- no matter how this plays out in the coming days I think downside is extremely limited.”

Credible Crypto added that hints as to the outcome of current conditions should be expected within “the next day or two.”
