Bitcoin – BTCUSD Bears in Control Below $7,000
Bears managed to break the support at $7,000 yesterday and made a fresh monthly low at $6,823. The downtrend channel which started back in July controls the bitcoin price.
The first support, in the daily chart for BTCUSD now stands at $6,823 the low from yesterday session. If bitcoin breaks below the $6,823 the next support will be met at $6,542 the low from November 25th, when the PBOC came out with a warning on cryptocurrencies. In case of a break below that level we have to go back to May 11th for the next support at $6,330.
On the other hand, intraday resistance for BTCUSD stands at $6,892 the daily high. If BTCUSD breaks above the intraday top, then buyers will target the $7,000 mark. Traders can initiate long positions if bitcoin breaks above the $7,000 level targeting the next resistance at $7,135, the high from yesterday’s session.
The technical outlook is clearly bearish for bitcoin against the US dollar and the rebounds should be considered a selling opportunity. A close above the $7,000 mark might cancel for the short term the bearish bias.
