After consolidating for a few hours above the $5,400 support, the BTC/USD pair started a strong decline. There were two nasty red candles formed and the price broke the $5,250 and $5,120 support levels.

The pair settled below the $5,250 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Sellers took control and pushed the price below the $5,000 support as well. A new weekly swing low as formed at $4,909 and the price is currently correcting higher. It already moved above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $5,513 high to $4,909 swing low. However, the $5,280 level acted as a strong resistance.
