Bitcoin Moves Down, May Slide Below $6,700

Yesterday, the bears showed their supremacy over bulls at the $7,000 overhead resistance. Bitcoin rebounded at $6,797 to reach a high of $7,200. Immediately, the bulls were resisted as price slumped to $6,600.

Buyers pushed above $6,700 and resumed consolidation. Undoubtedly, as the pair is now in the bearish trend zone, there is the certainty of a further downward move.

At the moment, the price is consolidating above $6,700. Bitcoin is likely to drop to the next support at $6,400 if the selling pressure resumes. Subsequently, the bearish momentum can extend to a low of $5,900. There is also the argument that the $6,700 support can hold. The pair will now have the opportunity to rise to revisit the high of $6,900. Bitcoin will recover from the downward move if the price rises to the $6,900 level.

Bitcoin Indicator Reading 

Bitcoin was earlier in the overbought region when it was above the 80% range. Sellers have emerged as the market continues its downward move. The pair is below 80 % range as the market falls. Incidentally, Bitcoin will sink if it falls and breaks below the resistance line.

Key Resistance Zones: $10,000, $11,000, $12,000

Key Support Zones: $7, 000, $6, 000, $5,000 

What Is the Next Direction for BTC/USD?

Bitcoin's upward move is doubtful as the market falls into the bearish trend zone. The bulls’ ability to defend the $6,700 support will determine if the bears will continue with the downward move. The market is likely to fall as it is nearing the breakdown point.
