The Bitcoin price chart shows the formation of a descending triangle pattern. The coin price has retested the pattern’s barriers, i.e., descending trendline and $18500 neckline support, several times indicating the traders respect those levels. 

Furthermore, the lower high formation within this pattern reflects the gradual decrease in bearish momentum. Thus, if the daily candle closes below the $18300 mark, the accelerated selling pressure will prolong the prevailing downfall and may plunge prices to $16500.

As of now, the Bitcoin price recently turned down from the combined resistance of the downsloping trendline and 20500. The resulting downfall fueled by the release of US unemployment data pulled the coin price below the local support of $19500.

However, the coin price tries to retest this breached resistance as a viable resistance. If the selling pressure persists, a downfall of 5% is possible to hit the $18500 bottom support. 

On a contrary note, if the buyers break above the resistance trendline, the bearish thesis will get invalidated.
