Bitcoin price has been falling for the last three days, the price dynamic is behaving quite different IMHO.
A possible pattern is started to appear, it is called "Three black crows".
To confirm this possible pattern the current day should print its close then re-assess the price dynamic.

Comment:
The price found support at the zone of confluence between Fibonacci levels and weekly support, the buyers managed to close the daily candle at $ 10,301.44; the possible pattern ("Three black crows")that was mentioned in the previous comment it has been nulled.

The dynamic has shown signals of weakness and the price has tested the support $9,500 - $9,800 (lower horizontal boundary)in a fourth time, every time the price hits the same level (support or resistance) it gets weaker.

Take a look at the chart below to find a further explanation.

The following chart is on a weekly scale view to have a macro perspective of the price dynamic.
For now, my perspective is slightly bearish. I will wait for the weekly close and re-assess the dynamic.

Comment:
Several triangle patterns have been formed and completed successfully in the past, the dynamic of the last 50 days might be fit to a triangle pattern again.

The last weekly close was at $10,318.99 the price managed to bounce from the triangle base.

A descending triangle has two main components:

1) The hypotenuse: is a downward trendline that connects the consecutive lower highs (LH) and is the zone where the offer is located in the form of selling. In a few words is the Resistance zone.

2) The Base: is a lower horizontal boundary that works as a support is a range of prices where the demand is located. The base represents a support zone.

Note: A pattern is not a pattern until its completed formation, a pattern can morph into anything during its formation, this is called morphology.

At the following chart, you can find further details.

Comment:
On a daily view, it can be observed how the base of the triangle has been tested several times over the course of the pattern and it has been working as a reliable support.

An intra-monthly view to have a perspective of the macro, the monthly candle still has 10 days in front to close.

Note: I use the prefix "intra" to refer a time frame that has not been closed yet. It gives us a snapshot within the development.

The price is held by the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level.

At the following chart, some levels of supports are highlighted:

-Fibonacci retracement of recovery market 2019 Pivot low - 2019 High ($13,880)

-Horizontal boundaries from previous major patterns.

Note: My perspective remains slightly bearish

Comment:
Bitcoin has been inside the downward parallel channel for the last 59 days, the last time that the price reached the channel upper boundary ($12325), the dynamic failed in the breakout so the sellers were aggressive and the price decreased.

After making a similar low located in the weekly support zone the price has been consolidating between the previous monthly closes.

At the chart below some key levels from higher time frames are shown on a daily scale

Note:
-A weekly close below the weekly support would be on the favour of a possible breakdown.
-A weekly close above the higher weekly close of 2019 would be on the favour of a possible breakout.

Comment:
Bitcoin has broken the support of $9800-$9900 where the price held for 13 days, in a daily time frame the 28th August candle closed below this range of prices and now it is flirting with breach the weekly support.

The 13 consolidation days over the support mentioned allowed the formation of a head and shoulders continuation pattern with a neckline located at this horizontal support and a pivot high $10955.48 as head of the pattern.

*H&S main structure:
- Neckline = $9800 -$9900
- Head and shoulder: magenta labels
- Possible target : $8700- $8900

*Current support = weekly support

Take a look at the chart below to find a further explanation

Note:
-My perspective is bearish

-Think on the price dynamic as a ladder every support is a rung but sometimes the rung fails.

Descending triangle pattern:

A descending triangle has two main components:

1) The hypotenuse: is a downward trendline that connects the consecutive lower highs (LH) and is the zone where the offer is located in the form of selling. In a few words is the Resistance zone.

2) The Base: is a lower horizontal boundary that works as a support is a range of prices where the demand is located. The base represents a support zone.

On a daily view, it can be observed how the base of the triangle has been tested several times over the course of the pattern and it has been working as a reliable support.

Every time that a support or resistance is tested this level gets weaker.

Today, bitcoin is flirting with a test of triangle's base again.

Note: A pattern is not a pattern until its completed formation, a pattern can morph into anything during its formation, this is called morphology.

A monthly view:

The August monthly candle printed its close at $ 9524.15, it is below the July's close but the August's low is a Higher Low (HL).

The support level $9100 -$9500 stills holding the price.

Comment:
Regardless of the formation of any pattern the dynamic of the last 2 months has behaved under these two main guidelines:
- A lower horizontal boundary working as a support.
- Consecutive formation of Lower Highs (LH), that can be connected in a down trendline working as a resistance.

Break this market behaviour could deploy a movement with a wider range.

Comment:
A consolidation phase of two months and going on. The weekly support has been working as a reliable support.

"An instrument (Stock, ETF, Index, commodities or cryptocurrencies) price is either in a trending phase or in a consolidation period. During strong trend periods prices move uninterrupted from one price level to another. During consolidations, prices move in both directions without producing any meaningful or sustained price change and will form well-defined support and resistance areas on the charts. A support range represents a concentration of demand, and a resistance range represents a concentration of supply" -Aksel Kibar

The descending triangle.
The downtrend line was tested one more time and the resistance effect emerged producing a price retracement.

Comment:
A 11 week-long descending triangle as a major pattern and a rectangle chart pattern as a minor pattern.

The price dynamic has formed a 26 day-long rectangle pattern with a horizontal boundary acting as resistance at $11,000 level and a lower horizontal boundary acting as support at $9,400 level. Break this pattern with an upside breakout or with a downside breakdown could deploy a movement of a wider extension.
