BTC price has formed a bearish candlestick pattern at the falling trendline. Suppose the sellers show interest and the price starts trading below the major support level of $61,000, selling pressure can be seen and melt to the 200-day EMA.
If the asset price fails to defend the 200-day EAM, most of the investors may prefer to book profit which may lead to a strong selling pressure.
On the other hand, if the Bitcoin crypto price triggers a breakout from the trendline and sustains then the buyers may show interest and may gain bullish momentum. Assuming this buying momentum is supported by the trading volume, buyers may eye for a new all-time high, and a long-term bullish trend can be expected.
Based on the chart structure, the major support level is $61,000 and another support level would be $52,000. If the price gains bullish momentum then it could be interrupted near the $71,000 hurdle and another resistance level would be $80,000.
