Since after Bitcoin got into the descending channel on the price chart, it has been going lower on the trendline. However, there is bullish pressure near the support. The bullish pressure is limiting the loses and if it continues, Bitcoin may be able to recover to $7,085 short-term.
This is in line with the 61.8% Fib level and the upper part of the descending channel. Also, the 100 simple moving average is stronger as a ceiling by lining up with the top of the channel. The 200 simple moving average is above the 100 simple moving average which indicates that there is a path to least resistance downside. So, the sell off will resume soon rather than be completely reversed.
There is a gap between both moving averages which is getting narrow signaling an upward crossover. This indicates that the bears are losing momentum and giving way for the bulls. There is also the possibility of a buying pressure.
