There was acute rejection at the 0.7000 USD and 0.7100 USD resistance levels. Prices failed to break the 0.7100 USD and the 100 SMA. This resulted in a new downward shift and prices moved below the 0.6900 USD and 0.6800 USD support levels. The downward swing was real because there was a close below the 0.6800 USD support. Prices are now below the 100-hour SMA.
The decline paused close to a crucial support area at 0.6450 USD, which prevented losses earlier. A low formed at 0.6471 USD before prices started to consolidate in a range. It is testing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement from the last drop of 0.7142 USD high to 0.6471 USD low. There's a chance for more upsides towards the 0.6800 USD support level, but many hurdles are looking at the upside. A primary bearish pattern is in place with some resistance at 0.6800 USD on the hourly chart.
While there isn't any clear issue that may have triggered the sell-off, most digital currency experts attribute this decline to the disappointment caused by the Consensus conference. The conference failed to boost cryptocurrency prices against expectations.
