Bitcoin Slumps as Buyers Fail to Sustain Higher Price Levels

Bitcoin slumps back to its previous price range after rejection at the $7,000 resistance. Earlier on the bulls have bought above the $5,000 support; this propels the market to reach the $7,000 price level.

A Doji candlestick appeared during the upward move indicating that buyers are unable to keep the price higher, as sellers emerge to push the price back to its opening price. 

As Bitcoin retraces it will find the first support at $5,800. At the low of $5,800, a rebound may likely occur which will cause the price to rally above the initial resistance at $6,800. Conversely, if the selling pressure is severe and causes the $5,800 to crack, BTC may fall to the low of $5,200. BTC is currently fluctuating between $4,500 and $6,000. A breakdown may occur if the downward move extends to $4,500 low.
