Futures Market Update
The bearish Gap recorded on CME exchange was about $106 dollars.
BitMEX funding rate is positive indicating a long interest at the moment. The long/short ratio on Okex as well is fairly inclined towards the bulls at 1.25. Moreover, on Okex the top traders are long as well with the exchange reporting a sharp increase in open interests in the past 24 hours.
Furthermore, on BitFinex the ratio breached its ATH with more than 43000 long contracts compared to around 7000 BTC short orders.
Hence, the market seems to be looking for a reversal at support above $7000. Nevertheless, the bulls face a lot of resistance starting at the range resistance around $7400.

Another expert chart analyst and trade, Zoran Kole tweeted that,
… Overall bias is still bearish but not discounting a return to the mean before downside continuation. Currently straddling the range with 7k long/7.4 short entries respectively. Watch for a break in MS. #crypto

Hence, while a relief bounce might be around the corner, the short and medium-term outlook seems to be bearish at the moment. However, a break above the falling wedge pattern and resistance around $7800, could well lead the price above $8000.
Moreover, even during previous bear actions, price only recorded bearish wicks (for a short period of time). If the buyers continue to exhaust the bears above the $6900, bull action would resume again after accumulation.
