In the second half of the day, trading volume began to decline, and the pair tried to gain a foothold in a sideways channel in the area of ​​average prices. Overnight, the price of BTC retraced below the two-hour EMA55 and, as of this morning, buyers could not yet overcome the resistance of this moving average.

At the moment, the Stoch RSI indicator lines have left the overbought zone and indicate an upcoming continuation of the decline toward the trend line (the psychological mark area of ​​$10,000).

On the 4H chart, a potential rise is possiblenot in the form of a correction after Sunday's drop but an attempt to reach the $12,000 mark. The trading volume is low, but the selling volume is at the bottom. That is why the more likely scenario is slight growth to the zone of $11,500 before another bearish wave begins.

On the daily time frame, the situation is not that positive. The trading volume is decreasing, which means that there are high chances for a further decline. If Bitcoin (BTC) cannot rise above $11,300 in the next few days, bears may push it back to $10,500 and below shortly.

Bitcoin is trading at $11,150 at press time.
