What is the next direction for Bitcoin?

The BTC/USD pair had been on a downward move for the last five months. The market hovers above the $10,000 price level for three months leading to the formation of a symmetrical triangle. It is a situation where the supply and demand reaches equilibrium.

The equilibrium status does not last for long as the sellers overwhelm the buyers and the market falls to another low above $8,000 price level. The market fell to a period of consolidation to form a bearish flag. The price is likely to pause and continue its original downward move. In other words, the next direction for Bitcoin is likely to be the low above $5,300 support level. The price target is calculated by measuring the distance between the previous swings high to the swing low of the flag pole.
