The Bitcoin Price was seen holding minor gains of 0.8% on Monday, given some consolation gains, as bears take foot of the gas with selling pressure. This current consolidation price behavior suggests that the move south is not over just yet.
BTC/USD has lost over 15% in just 5 days of trading, as big move that has seen the price fall from $7405 down to lows of around $6127. Selling pressure has been seen across the crypto market, something that has been somewhat of a shock, given the intensity of this downside momentum.

Resistance seen at the upper part of the descending channel, $6345, support eyed at $6091 the lower part of that pattern.
