The Apecoin daily technical chart shows the formation of a head and shoulder pattern. This bullish pattern is often found in market tops as the prices display a trend reversal, switching from higher high formation to lower low formation.

Amid the recent sell-off in the crypto market, the altcoin turned down from the $5.7 resistance and bolstered the right shoulder portion of the pattern. The four-consecutive red candles registered a 19% loss and plug prices to $4.57 marked low.

Furthermore, the falling prices break a 20-day EMA and the local support of $5, indicating the sellers aim for another leg down. However, today, the coin is 7% and retests the breached resistance of $5.7.

However, the bullish candle aligned with lesser volume indicates weakness in bearish momentum. Thus, if the selling pressure persists, the Apecoin price may revert from the $5.5 resistance and breach the neckline support of $4.24.

A bearish breakdown from this pattern would accelerate the bullish momentum and challenge the June bottom support of 4.2%. The Apecoin price could reach the $2 mark per technical set-up.

On a contrary note, a daily candle above $5.7 will undermine the bearish pattern.
