Bull Flag Breakout In The Making
The rejection at $10,500 followed by a lower high and lower low patter has resulted in the formation of a bull flag pattern. Bulls appear to be losing control of the price in the near term.

Bitcoin Price Technical Picture
According to applied technical indicators on the daily chart, Bitcoin is likely to extend the break below a two-month-long ascending trendline. With the RSI sinking fast towards 30 (oversold region) there is a possibility that bearish pressure will continue to hover a while longer. Moreover, the widening gap between the 100-day SMA and the 50-day SMA clearly shows that the bears are comfortable in the driver seat. Support is expected at $9,500, $9,300 as well as $9,000.
