According to Coin Market Cap, the leading cryptocurrency is up a mere 1% in the past 24 hours \u2014 effectively nothing when you factor in this market’s often immense volatility.<\/p>\n

While Bitcoin’s recent consolidation outlined above hasn’t been bearish per se, the lack of price action has purportedly allowed a number of bearish technical trends to form, implying that BTC may see a short-term pullback to potentially fill the CME futures gap in the $8,000s.<\/p>\n
