A close below the low end of the zone could send Bitcoin towards $5.625.Further close below that level may encourage bears to press towards $4.186. Nevertheless, the weekly support levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be considered.
On the flip side, any failure in closing below the low end of the zone may reverse the price’s direction towards the high end of the zone. Further close above that level negates the aforementioned double top pattern, and may cause a rally towards $9.080.Yet, the weekly resistance levels marked on the chart should be watched closely.
