Bitcoin price remains bullish above $6,400 (immediate support area). The selling pressure at $6,600 is lagging the bullish action targeting $7,000. However, the RSI is pointing sharply upwards as a signal for a stronger bullish momentum.

The formation a bearish flag pattern, however, threatens to erase most of the progress that has been made since Friday. On the other hand, if the technical picture remains intact, there is a big chance that bullish action would continue above $7,000.
