As stated in our previous discussion of the bitcoin market, the $6,425 support level was a very important level to hold.
A failure to maintain support at that price level would undoubtedly cascade the market into a test of deeper support values.
Fortunately, the week started off with a decent bounce off the support level: Figure 1: BTC-USD, 1-Day Candles, Support Level Although the volume was not the best, the price managed to rally decently on a fairly wide spread.
Currently, the price seems to be bound within a pseudo-trading range of sorts where it is meandering around, testing both support and resistance.
We could even argue that current trading indicates a pretty sizeable bear flag:Figure 3: BTC-USD, 12-Hour Candles, Bear Flag This current trend has all the hallmarks of a bear flag: consolidating volume, a weakening upward trend and a downtrend that leads into the consolidation pattern.
