On the 6H chart, one could notice a failed Double bottom reversal pattern. Thus, the leading cryptocurrency has been in the deep bearish trend since October 11. According to these factors, no trend change is going to happen soon. Moreover, buyers are not interested in buying BTC back from the current levels due to the declining trading volume index.

On the weekly timeframe, it is clear that Bitcoin has recently tested the MA 100 more than once. All this suggests that seller pressure is still very strong.

At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $7,943.
