Based on the daily chart analysis, on Sunday the price corrected its uptrend and declined to the current trading zone $7.824 – $9.080. Yesterday, Bitcoin failed to return to the previous zone signaling a possible fall towards the low end of the aforementioned zone.

A close below the low end of the zone could encourage bears to press towards $6.540. A further close below that level may send BTC/USD even lower towards $5.625. In that scenario, the weekly support levels underlined on the chart should be considered.

On the other hand, any failure in closing below the low end of the zone may reverse the market’s direction towards the high end. A further close above that level could trigger a rally towards $10.507. That said, the daily and weekly resistance levels marked on the chart should be watched closely.

Looking at the four-hour chart, in mid-April the market broke above the downtrend line originated from the April 7 high at $7.455 then started a bullish momentum creating higher highs with higher lows. On Sunday, Bitcoin broke below the uptrend line originated from April 21 low at $6.772 eyeing a test of the low end of the current trading zone discussed above on the daily chart.

A break below $7.770 reflects a stronger bearish sentiment and could send BTC/USD towards $7.316. Although, the weekly support level underscored on the chart should be kept in focus. In turn, any break in the other direction i.e. above $9.216 may cause a rally towards $9.648. Nonetheless, the daily resistance level printed on the chart should be monitored.
