The Bitcoin price traded throughout much of Friday’s session within the red, after coming under attack from the bears, selling the rallies seen late on Thursday. It has been a choppy week for the crypto market in general, with a lack of solid trend commitment.

BTC/USD has continued to respect a descending trend line that has been running since the back-end of July. On each occasion the price has come into contact with it, the sellers have piled in, driving the price further south.

Technically, the daily candle for BTC/USD has again tested the above-mentioned descending trend line, which has seen another rejection. In proximity to this resistance a supply area is tracking from the $6700 territory up to $6800. Should the bulls manage to push above both mentioned resistance areas, then a wave of new buyers could flock in, which could see the 4th September highs tested at $7400.
