From the intraday point of view, BTC/USD stays above SMA50 4-hour (currently at $5.138). This area now serves as an initial support. Once it is broken, the sell-off may extended towards a strong psychological barrier $5,000 strengthened by the lower boundary of the recent upside channel and SMA100 (4-hour).
