Will Bitcoin Price Renews Lows Below $18,000?

• Bitcoin price trades with a negative bias on Wednesday.

Bitcoin price breaks the consolidation to the lower level

BTC  on the weekly chart is trending lower breaking every crucial support level. The price test is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward move from the $32,285 swing high to the $17,770 low.

Further, the downside pressure is added as the Bitcoin price is sliced below the 200-day exponential moving average. According to this chart, if the price on the weekly chart closes below $19,250, then we can expect a sharp fall of up to $17,675. 

Bitcoin price on the daily chart gave a breakout of a bearish “Flag & Pole” Pattern. The bearish flag is a candlestick chart pattern that signals the extension of the downtrend once the temporary pause is finished. As a continuation pattern, the bear flag helps sellers to push the price action further lower. With falling price along with Rising volumes indicates that more big money players are entering this fall. 

According to this structure, BTC may take some pullback before going down further. The nearest resistance, this price may face is around $19,250. Now, a retest of the mentioned level would mean some kind of rejection near the higher levels, the “Sell on rising” opportunity should be in play at that time. 

With the expected downfall, the BTC price can go up to the lows of June 18 ($17,675). 

The nearest support is ($18,600), whereas the nearest resistance is around ($19,250). There is a higher probability of the price breaking its support But, if any chance price tends to come close to its resistance, and we’ve seen any rejection there with rising volumes, then we can sell there as per the strategy of selling at high to capitalize the gains.

On the other hand, a break above the $20,000 level could invalidate the bearish outlook. And the price can test $21,650

BTC is bearish on all time frames. Below  $18,600 closing on the hourly time frame, we can put a trade on the sell side. 

As of press time, BTC/USD is reading at $18,711, down 0.21% for the day.
