Following the mid-December downfall, the Bitcoin price went sideways immediately. Though this downfall breached some crucial support levels, such as the support level of the inverted flag pattern and $16900-16820, the sellers struggled to follow up on this breakdown.

Over the past five days, the BTC price has showcased short-body candles with price rejection on both sides. These candle structures and decreasing volume activity define indecisiveness among market participants.

However, if the Bitcoin price remains below the mentioned resistance, the sellers will have the upper hand and are likely to drop prices lower. Thus, a possible downfall may plunge the price to $15600.

On a country note, a daily candle closing above $16900 will encourage the resumption of prior recovery.
