Last weeks candle for the price of Bitcoin was a bearish engulfing candle. A bearish engulfing is where the drop engulfs the prior candle and typically takes place after a move to the upside. Two weeks ago we had a bullish week for cryptocurrencies where even altcoins were recording large appreciations. However, Bitcoin has failed to overcome the 50EMA and suffered a steep drop last week.
The drop brings the price back near its low of 2018. Price is currently trading below $6300 on most exchanges, and the lows of 2018 are around $5800. A drop back to these levels will mean Bitcoin has tested this level multiple times this year. The more times a level is tested, the weaker it becomes so this time could see Bitcoin form new lows for the year. Bitcoin has been forming lower lows and lower highs since December.
