Bitcoin Faces Potential Downtrend Amid Technical Patterns

According to BlockBeats, Coindesk analyst Omkar Godbole has indicated that Bitcoin's upward momentum is waning, raising the possibility of a bearish double-top pattern. On the daily chart, bulls failed to sustain a breakthrough above the critical Fibonacci level of $122,056 on Monday, mirroring a similar situation on July 14. This inability to maintain above key price points, interspersed with brief pullbacks, is characteristic of a double-top formation. The neckline, marked by the lowest point of a brief pullback at $111,982, serves as a crucial support level to watch. A decisive break below this neckline would confirm the double-top pattern's breakdown, potentially triggering selling pressure down to $100,000. Resistance levels are identified at $120,000, $122,056, and $123,181, while support levels are at $114,295, $111,982, and $100,000. As the market anticipates today's CPI data release, bears have gained a significant advantage. The exhaustion of buying pressure suggests that the market is particularly vulnerable to U.S. inflation data, which, if higher than expected, could lead to increased selling pressure. In other words, the current buying momentum is insufficient to absorb potential sell-offs triggered by rising inflation and reduced expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. In this scenario, the market may experience a rapid decline.
