If consecutively sentenced to the maximum on all counts, Chhipa could face up to 100 years in prison, though actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties.

Conversely, if the price continues lower and breaks below the 20-day EMA, it will suggest that the bulls are booking profits. The BTC/USDT pair may drop to $90,000 and eventually to the 50-day SMA ($84,719).

A strong rebound off the 20-day EMA will suggest that the bulls remain in command and every minor dip is being purchased. That will increase the possibility of a retest of the all-time high at $104,088. A break and close above $104,088 could start the next leg of the uptrend to $113,331 and later to $125,000.
