BTC/USD chart and technical analysis

Bitcoin is making lower lows and is in a down-trend after the price made a high higher at $44,400 last week. The price is likely to continue the bearish trend and drop further after the formation of a bearish head and shoulder pattern.

The head and shoulder(H&S) pattern is an important pattern that indicates the continuation and reversal of a trend. The current H&S pattern in a downtrend indicates a further drop for Bitcoin.

I am expecting the price will slightly retrace further to the $43,195 resistance level from where it will likely drop to the $40,700 support level.

Bitcoin fundamental analysis

The price of BTC/USD is likely to remain stable for the next few days as there are no major fundamental events that can impact the price of Bitcoin substantially.
