Bear Flag Pattern Emerges on Bitcoin's Daily Chart

Bitcoin's current market structure has been identified as a bear flag by crypto trader @0xPepesso, indicating potential downside risk.

The pattern is based on the price action since Bitcoin's sharp decline earlier this year, which formed a 'flagpole' and established a downtrend. The subsequent upward-sloping channel brought prices to their current value of $80,900, but failed to show strong recovery strength, suggesting it was corrective.

Key resistance zones are approaching, including the 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages around $78,500. If Bitcoin fails to break above these levels and instead loses the lower boundary of its rising channel, the bearish structure would be confirmed, potentially leading to a move similar in scale to the prior decline.
