Bitcoin in a Descending Triangle

Since the beginning of December, Bitcoin had been trading inside a descending triangle. The price broke down in the early hours of December 4. The breakdown occurred with a bearish engulfing candlestick created with significant volume. The closest support area is found at $7100. After the breakdown, the Bitcoin price is making another descending triangle. Besides this being a bearish pattern, it is a continuation of a downward move — making it very likely that the Bitcoin price will again break to the downside. This move would likely take the Bitcoin price to the previously outlined support area at $7100.

Long-Term Resistance

Looking at the weekly chart provides an extremely bearish sentiment. First, the Bitcoin price broke down below the $7400-$7600 area that had been acting as support since May. Afterward, it fell below the 100-week MA. While it made an attempt at moving higher, it never reached a close and is now again trading below it. Therefore, the price has broken down below a significant support area and validated it as resistance. In the majority of cases, this results in a continued downward movement. If the Bitcoin price breaks down from the current descending channel, it could reach $6000. For now, however, a lower low inside the channel near $6400 seems more likely — if the $7100 support area fails. For our previous analysis, click here.
