BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Bearish
Within a week, the bulls have made three unsuccessful attempts at the $7,000 overhead resistance. The only consolation is that it is trading below $6,800 resistance and close to the overhead resistance. Bitcoin may have the possibility of a breakout if the bulls continue to trade near the overhead resistance.

On a downside, selling pressure may resume at the $6,800 resistance for failing to break above the resistance. Any downward move may fall to the next support at $6,200 and subsequently to the low of $5,820. An analyst believes that BTC may fall to the low of $4,000 before a rebound.
