However, with a recent downtick in the market sentiment, the BTC price gave a bearish breakdown from the supported trendlines of the aforementioned range reflecting a potential downfall in the near future. However, is this breakdown enough to go bearish on Bitcoin?

On July 24th, the Bitcoin price gave a high momentum breakdown from the bottom trendline at $28640 support. The long consolidation ending in the seller’s favor reflects an upcoming downfall in BTC price.

As of now, the largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin traded at 29230 with an entire loss of 0.22%. Interested traders can look to sell the opportunity at this point or wait for a pullback to $29230. This retest would validate price sustainability at lower prices and offer a better entry opportunity.

If the coin price sustains this breakdown, the sellers could drive a downfall of 4 to 5% and test the $28000 psychological support.

Time to Sell Bitcoin?

Considering the bigger picture, the anticipated correction would still be a part of a longer uptrend. Therefore a retest to the $28000 support would also meet the ascending support trendline carrying a recovery phase in Bitcoin price for the past seven months. Until the support trendline is intact, the coin holders can maintain the bullish outlook and also look for an opportunity to reaccumulate.

  • Bollinger Band: the Bitcoin price challenging the lower band of the Bollinger band indicator indicates high momentum in selling activity
  • Relative Strength Index: A bearish divergence in the daily RSI slope started reflecting weakness in bullish. however, a breakdown below the 40% mark will also offer an additional edge to market sellers.
