Trend: Bearish

BTC/USD daily chart

Bitcoin bulls must defend the falling wedge triangle support as if their lives depend on it.

The bearish cross with the MACD suggests that Bitcoin has a bearish bias in the short term.

BTC/USD 4-hour chart

The previous DMI signal was bearish while the DMI is trending sideways at 20, which suggests that BTC will continue trading sideways.

The MACD in this range has a bullish cross to show that the bulls are relatively in control.

BTC/USD 1-hour chart

With the 50 SMA below the 100 SMA bears are likely to hold the mantle longer than expected.

The resistance at $8,800 (100 SMA) must come down for trading above $9,000 to become a reality.
