On the 1H chart, there was a fixation below the mirror level, which quite often served as a price rebound point. Before consolidation above this level, the priority remains of the downtrend movement. Most likely, the local decline will continue within the lateral descending channel, after which one can expect a price increase.

On the 4H chart, bulls failed to complete the Double Bottom pattern, and the RSI indicator is below the 50 mark. Against these reasons, the market is still dominated by bearish sentiment and, therefore, there is a high probability of falling below the key mark of $8,000.
