Bitcoin dipped below initial support at $45,000 on Wednesday, but later stabilized around $42,000, which is near the Dec. 5 crash low. Oversold signals remain intact, which suggest selling pressure could subside.

The cryptocurrency is down about 8% over the past week as buyers failed to sustain a break above $50,000.
