Technical overview
BTC / USD: hourly chart
As observed in the hourly chart, BTC / USD plotted an ascending wedge split over the past hour after breaking below the critical cushion at $ 11,535 / 530, the confluence of the uptrend line support and the the 200-hour simple moving average (HMA).
Sell pressure intensifies on the bearish breakout, as price broke through 21-HMA support at $ 11,507, falling as low as $ 11,440.
Despite the rapid fall, the bulls managed to stay above the next strong support at $ 11,420, which is the convergence of the horizontal 50 and 100-HMA.
A break below the latter will require a test of target levels below $ 11,200.
Meanwhile, any pullback will encounter initial resistance at 21-HMA, the old support.
Acceptance above this level, the bulls will be looking to reclaim the fierce cap of $ 11,535. The path of least resistance appears to be bearish, however, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in the bearish region at 44.20, indicating further losses.
