Bitcoin failed to overcome the resistance at $6,800 in its third attempt
Price bounced off resistance and could test support levels at $6,670 during the day
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin remains in a bearish channel.
Technical indicators Signals
The 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA to show that the path of least resistance leads down. The moving averages thus signal that there is sales pressure and that the Bitcoin price could rise towards support levels in the near future. As the resistance stands at $6,800, the price may fall during the day. The bearish channel on the 4-hour chart continues to be active. The channel resistance is amplified by the 100 SMA, so a strong upward movement is necessary to overcome it.
The RSI confirms the possibility of sales pressure, as it is slightly downward. Interestingly, the RSI has not risen above the 64 level since May 28 (4-hour chart). At the moment we are at 60.8 and judging by the oscillator, it is possible that it will drop to the support level of 54. June 23 may be decisive as the price may approach significantly the channel resistance assuming that the price moves between $6,630 – $6,780 at the current level. Furthermore, the RSI seems to be approaching a triangle formation on 23.06 and could break out. It is also important to keep an eye on the descending channel.

Yesterday’s headline was the hack from the South Korean crypto currency exchange Bithumb. Although the sum that was stolen „only“ accounts for ten percent of last year’s turnover, another and now third hack by Bithumb in 2018 led to negative headlines and thus harms the legitimacy of the crypto currencies. Charlie Lee described the situation perfectly by tweeting: „A new day, a new hack“.
