The bears finally took the reins of the Bitcoin movements and we see that in the short term there is a dynamic support offered by the 200-hour moving average. The resistance of 11339 has remained solid and has helped the BTC/USD pair to remain under downward pressure, so we may see a deeper downward correction.
The Parabolic SAR is suggesting that the downward trend could last for a few more days, as the bullish price action weakens when touching the key level of 11339. The 200-hour moving average is limiting losses, although it is likely to be fractured for thus allowing more falls in the coming days.
What do we expect?
