On November 4th, the Bitcoin price surpassed the prior swing high resistance of $20830. However, the buyers could not sustain above the breached resistance despite a two-days retest phase.

With a 1.24% intraday loss, the coin price nosedived below the $20830 level and currently trades at $20653. If the daily- candle closes below the aforementioned flipped support, the fake breakout scenario will force liquidate breakout buyers.
