Bitcoin Indicator Reading  

The bearish flag is a continuation pattern that breaks out in the direction of the prevailing trend. The break out from the bearish flag has reached the low above $7,400. In a normal setup, the price fall should be a minimum distance of the bearish flag pole. From the measurement of the bearish flag pole, Bitcoin is likely to depreciate to a low of $5,400; except the price action states otherwise. 

From the Fibonacci tool, the lower swing is taken from August 29, while the upper swing is from August 5. During a price action, a bullish candlestick tested the 0.618 retracement level. The 0.618 retracement level indicates that the market will reach a low of 1.618 extension level or the $7,472 price level. However, at this level, the depreciation may continue. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is below the 20% range of the stochastic indicator. This suggests that the price is in a strong bearish momentum.

The BTC/USD pair is likely to fall following the bearish pattern formation. All the price indicators are in favor of further depreciation. The BTC price is below the EMAs which indicates a further downward move. On the downside, if the bears break the $7,400 and $7,000 support level, the market will reach the estimated low of $5,400.
