The Bitcoin price late in the second half of the session on Wednesday, was trading very marginally in negative territory, just by some 0.10%. BTC/USD had started off the day well, attempting to make a breakout from the deadly daily range, however the bulls were rejected at the upper part of this.

BTC/USD price acting continues to move within the ten-session range, which has been in play since the big drop on 24th February that hit the entire cryptocurrency market. Current formation is still within a bearish flag pattern formation.

Should the bears manage to breakout of the lower part of the mentioned range, this would be confirmation of the bearish flag structure. If this gives way, then eyes will be on another retest of the $3000 mark to the downside. Immediate and vital support should be noted at $3650, the low of the range as detailed.
