Short Term Technical View: On daily time frame BTC is trading below 200&50 simple moving averages and trading between $19,400-$20,000 ranges. BTC is made low 19300 and now consolidating within a range. Yesterday it made high near $20,400 and then it continue to decline.. Bitcoin is struggling to gain momentum above $20,500.
Alternative Scenario: If Bitcoin fails to clear the $20,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. An immediate support on the downside is near the $18,800 level.
