On the daily chart, the market is characterized by small body candlesticks like Doji and Spinning tops after the appearance of a large bearish candlestick. These candlesticks appear when the market is consolidating.

Nevertheless, BTC has fallen into an oversold region of the market at the current market price level. The further downward movement is unlikely. Instead, we should expect the emergence of buyers to push Bitcoin upward. Presently, BTC is below 20% range of the daily stochastic. BTC/USD pair is in the oversold region of the market. The market will remain in the oversold territory if the bulls fail to arrive.
