Technical Analysis for BTCUSD for 6th September 2022

Past Performance of Bitcoin

The consolidation continues for Bitcoin prices, judging from the formation in the daily chart. Although there were hints of strength, a development that temporarily propped traders' confidence, the failure of bulls to push for better prices points to rampant sellers. BTC price is tethered close to last week's support. Thus, sellers may press on, breaching immediate support and forcing prices to new weekly lows.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis

There are higher highs relative to the lower BB, a sign of strength. Still, this has failed to translate to higher prices for Bitcoin bulls. Instead, the result is a bear flag and a near two-week consolidation inside a $1k range. The immediate support at around $19.7k flashes with the 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the June to August 2022 trade range. Ideally, risk-off traders can unload on every retest towards the upper range of the current consolidation at $20.7k. However, considering the trajectory set in the past few trading weeks, traders can wait for a clear trend definition below the current trade range. Losses below $19.7k may see BTC slide to $18.5k and later $17.5k in line with the August 19 and 26 bear bar.
