Technical Analysis
On a daily timeframe, according to the Bollinger Bands indicator, the short-term trend still seems to be to the downside, the lower band slope is more than the previous corrections, and the baseline has built a resistance at $50.5k. The price seems to be entering a long-term erosive correction phase, and most likely, it will make retail investors disappointed and frustrating.
On the 1-hour timeframe, the price is going down and forming a falling wedge (a technical pattern that is usually bullish), creating a lower low and lower high. One can expect the price to rise to this wedge, but if it passes, the resistance of $50K on the way of Bitcoin to form a higher high.

The Conclusion is that the supply shock is evident but the supply/demand puzzle would be completed when the new capital flows into the market by new investors.
