The Bitcoin price has reached the lower limit of the current support area. However, the short-term structure does not yet indicate that we are in the initial phases of a reversal.
Bitcoin has been free-falling without showing any signs of a retracement since October 25. This is somewhat unusual since price decreases often bounce upwards once they reach a significant level.
Cryptocurrency analyst and trader @Josh Rager stated that the $7400 support area holds significant importance since it has often acted as support — thus, it should be considered more important than the $7700 area.
$BTC– After zooming out, we can see that the current support $7400s is in fact an area of interest (high volume node in the VPVR to the right)

However, the Bitcoin price has broken down below this level since the tweet.
Another popular analyst, @loomdart, identified $6900 as a more likely area for a bottom — due to a descending support line.

Let’s take a look at this pattern more closely and analyze if the Bitcoin price will likely make a bottom there.
Descending Bitcoin Price Support
The Bitcoin price has indeed been following a descending support line created by the lows of July 16. The line has been validated four times. Also, it coincides with the bottom of the support area at $6800-$7200. Therefore, it is a likely place to initiate a reversal.
However, in the short-term, the Bitcoin price is free-falling without a structure in place. Additionally, the volume has been increasing during bearish moves — as evidenced by the massive volume during the hourly candle at 11:00 UCT+1.
Therefore, while it is possible that the Bitcoin price makes a bottom here, there is no short-term structure in place that suggests that the reversal has started.
