Market Overview
Taking a look at the 4HR chart above we can clearly see Bitcoin running into the resistance at $7,174 provided by a bearish .618 Fib Retracement. It was really unable to climb above $6,700 which caused it to roll over and drop back into previous resistance (now support) provided by a bearish .382 Fib Retracement priced at $5,911.
Short term prediction: NEUTRAL/BEARISH
Bitcoin remains neutral but a break of the trend line is likely to put it bearish again.
