When you enroll in our free forex trading course, you will learn that this is widely considered as a bearish reversal signal. If you are keen on shorting the cryptocurrency, you will need to keep tabs around $8,591.70. This price offers a confluence of support. For one, it corresponds to the neckline support of the double top. Second, it aligns with the falling trendline when you connect the highs of June 27, 2019 and February 11, 2020. A strong bearish close below this price could mean that there are not enough buyers around this level. And so, it could imply that there is enough bearish momentum in the market to push BTCUSD around its March 16 lows at $4,910.00.
