Trend analysis

After the Bitcoin price dropped to $9,800 on August 15th, it then started to maintain a steady upward trend lasting for 5 days until the 20th. The price was consolidating around the $10,600 range and today we saw the price break through the bottom of the established trendline.

This could mean that the upward trendline was simply a bear flag. A bear flag is usually an upward trend that follows a sharp decline in price. After this upward trend, another sharp downward trend will usually be mimicking the previous sharp drop. So if that is the case, we could see the price reaching the support at ~$9,400.


Technical notes

The volume picked up and the bears took over. The RSI is now showing a heavy decline which is closing in on the oversold range. The EMA (200) is above the price and now indicating a bearish price crossover.


What To Consider

We are in bear territory with the next support level being ~9,400. Watch for a decline to this level before we could see some movement going back up.
