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.
Technically, given the current pattern the price action has formed, a descending channel, there could be a few more bounces south, which would see $6000 come back under threat to the downside. Elsewhere, given the consolidation nature of the price action, another drop looks possible. Resistance seen at the upper part of the descending channel, $6345, support eyed at $6091 the lower part of that pattern.
