The BTC/USD pair declined heavily and broke the $4,000, $3,800, $3,725 and $3,650 support levels. The decline was nasty as there was a close below the $3,725 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). It traded close to the $3,550 support area and later started consolidating losses. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $3,650 and $3,660 levels.
