The Bitcoin price on Tuesday is trading in the red by some 1.80%, as some near-term selling momentum picks up pace in the second half of the session.

Market bears have resumed pressure to the downside, following a brief period of stabilization on Sunday-Monday. Narrowing in the price action forced BTC/USD to form a bearish pennant structure, which was capitalized on by the sellers. 

Given the above-noted breach, it has left the price vulnerable to further downside risks. A retest of the near-term pennant is in play at the time of writing. Resistance tracking at $7225-7250, where the lock trend line can be observed
