As per the technical analysis, the ongoing sell-off in the market accentuates that the history has repeated for Bitcoin (BTC) price. Furthermore, as coingape mentioned in their recent article, the coin chart showed the formation of a rising wedge pattern.

Since the November fall, this pattern has emerged twice and depreciated the BTC price by 30-40%. Thus, on august 17th, the price reverted from the local top of $24500 and breached the pattern’s support trendline.

The post-retest fall has plummeted the prices by 8% and currently trades at the $21515 mark. 

Furthermore, the crypto market witnessed a significant sell-off today as the St. Louis Fed President James Bullard Hints at a 0.75% rate hike in September. Thus, the coin price continued to drop lower and gave a decisive breakdown from the $22580 support.

After the expected candle closes below the $22580 level, the BTC price could revert higher to retest this breached resistance. If the retest phase sustains below the flipped resistance, the sustained selling may drop the prices to $20770.

However, following the bearish continuation pattern, the BTC price could drop another 12% and reach the $19000 support.
