Bitcoin price seen up over 2% on Tuesday, after bears slow down from the recently strong applied selling pressure. BTC/USD has enjoyed some relief upside, however struggling to break down resistance at $7,155.

BTC/USD has been within range-bound trading and consolidation mode since 4^th August, after the chunky drop from the weekend. Bitcoin has failed to have stable footing since the rally seen in the back end of July, where the price breached the $8,500 mark.

Technically, BTC/USD price action has formed a bearish flag pattern, with the price moving sideways, strongly indicating of another potential drop down to the deep south. The demand zone tracking from $6,900-800 will need to be cleared for big moves lower.
