Price is currently trending down at ~$19800 after breaking below the uptrend line from 06/18/22 (~$21.3k) as it quickly approaches a retest of $19417 support. Volume remains Moderate and is on track to favor buyers for a second consecutive session if it closes today in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $19548, this margin is bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 44 and is testing the descending trendline from January 2021 at 44.5 as support, the next support is at 42.41. Stochastic remains bearish for the second consecutive session and is currently trending down at 63, the next support is at 55.55. MACD remains bullish and is currently forming a soft peak as it tests -232 minor resistance; if it crosses below -417 it would be a bearish crossover. ADX is currently trending down at 22 as Price is continuing to see downward pressure, this is neutral at the moment.

If Price is able bounce here then it will have to clear $20k psychological resistance before it can retest the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$21.3k as resistance. However, if Price continues to break down here then it will likely formally retest $19417 support before potentially retesting the uptrend line from March 2017 at ~$15k. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $20k.
