At long last, Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC) has slipped. In a move uncharacteristic of the past six weeks, the cryptocurrency has lost some 10% in the past 72 hours, falling from $8,700 to $7,900. This $800 move lower is the most prominent bears have been since last month’s $8,000 to $9,100 trading range.<\/p>\n

Per previous reports from NewsBTC<\/a>, this sudden collapse was to be expected. Bitcoin’s weekly candle closed as an Evening Star Doji (skinny body, long wicks), signifying the end of a trend. Moreover, the last week saw declining volumes, just as a number of trend indicators signaled that a local top was in.<\/p>\n

Now that the selling pressure has subsided for the time being, with the cryptocurrency market stabilizing around Monday’s close, let’s take a look at where BTC could head next and if the bulls still have a hand on the wheel.<\/p>\n

Bears Roar<\/strong> As Bitcoin Falls Under $8,000<\/h2>\n

After six weeks of continual buying pressure, which brought BTC from $5,000 to $9,100 \u2014 a move of over 80% \u2014 Bitcoin bulls are starting to show signs of exhaustion. As pointed out by analyst Nick Cote, BTC’s three-day chart is showing that bears are almost in control.<\/p>\n

More specifically, if the current three-day candle (which closes on Wednesday) closes red, Bitcoin would have just printed a “Three Black Crows” candlestick pattern. For those unaware, this pattern is seen as “confirmation of a reversal”. Investopedia describes<\/a> the pattern as follows: “The three black crows pattern occurs when bears overtake the bulls during three consecutive trading sessions.”<\/p>\n
