Another week, another low. Bitcoin’s market has been bleeding relentlessly for weeks and now, after falling 50% in value in just one month, the market has managed to break south of a major bearish consolidation pattern called a bear pennant:

This is a massive bear pennant with a staggering $2,000 measured move. In layman's terms: The price target for this breakout would be approximately $1,700, after all is said and done. Now, it’s important to note this is just a projection and it isn’t a guaranteed trajectory, but this setup should not be underestimated. However, if we look at a macro view of bitcoin price levels, the $1,700 price range is confluent with a strong support level:

As mentioned in previous market analyses, bitcoin has begun to march down all its previous untested support levels, one by one. As each support level proved to be unsustainable, the market has decided to test lower and lower throughout the current downtrend with very little relief for the eager bulls:

Figure 3 shows all the previous support levels and how they have also coincided with the previous shakeout periods during the parabolic run-up last year. Although we have yet to test new lows this week, something that is slightly concerning is the general lack of volume on these drops. While this can be a sign of temporary bearish weakness (or lack of supply), overall, this likely doesn’t bode well, as it hasn’t represented capitulatory volume — something that would be a clear sign that buyers are interested at these levels. For now, the market remains content to just chop sideway and, at the moment, is failing to gather momentum to break the previous overhead resistance:

Until the market is able to crack the overhead resistance, the next likely move would be a test of the current support level, which is likely to fail given the current, overall lack of bullish enthusiasm. The narrative could change shortly, but for now it’s “Chop City” until we can break the overhead resistance levels.

Summary:

Bitcoin has dropped 50% in one month.
It continues to test previous support levels but has failed respect the prior levels.
We are currently experiencing a breakout of a massive bear pennant that has a price target of $1700. If the current level fails to hold, the next move would likely be a strong move to the downside as we continue to test deeper and deeper support.

Why Bitcoin (BTC)’s Price Is A False Indicator Of Actual Value

Chart for BTC/USD (1W) Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading just above $6,400. The average cost for mining one Bitcoin (BTC) lies slightly below this level between $5,800 and $6,200. This is the reason the price has managed to stay above those levels for now despite the fact that the volume is so low that a couple of million dollars could swing the price either way.
