Head & Shoulders coming up?
Let’s get back to our charts: On the following daily chart we can see the decision point Bitcoin price is facing now. This yellow ascending trend-line has been built and kept (except for a short fake-out) since April 2019.
Together with the horizontal support level at $7070 and $7000, it might be the last boundary before playing out the pattern drawn on the following 4-hour chart.
This massive Head and Shoulders is a bearish pattern, and if played out, then its target is somewhere around $6500, which is not a coincidence, since this is the lowest price of Bitcoin since May 2017. During the past five weeks, Bitcoin tested and nicely bounced back from that support area.

Bitcoin Market Cap: $129 billion

Key Levels to Watch
– Support/Resistance: As mentioned above, Bitcoin is now facing support at $7070 and $7000. In case of a break-down, then the next target could be weak support of $6800.
Further down lies the low mentioned above, at $6500 – $6600.
From above, the first level of resistance is around $7150, where lies the April 2019 ascending trend-line. Above is $7200, before the descending trend-line and the confluence price area of $7300 – $7400.
– The RSI Indicator: As discussed here almost daily, the RSI is ‘stuck’ at the 44-45 horizontal level for the past two weeks. Now, we are starting to see bearish signs here, as the indicator breaks below the critical support.
– Trading volume: The volume is low compared to the past month, and it’s probably because of the holidays. On top, we can see declining bars of daily volume, which technically indicate a coming up move.
