Is Bitcoin struggling again?

Short

After taking profits on Bitcoin short trade setups (see links below), I was carefully watching to see how price would react to the $5,900 area expecting a rally (profit taking).

There was a nice rally up to the $6,600 area. Now, if you look closely there was a complex inverse head & shoulders pattern forming.

The right shoulder was smaller, however the volume was increasing so I wasn't getting my hopes up of a huge rally to the upside. True enough, price popped out the top and fizzled. Failed H&S patterns give clues.

Is this a sign that Bitcoin is struggling again?

I think so... Let's keep an eye on this one for downside continuation patterns.

Please give this trade idea a THUMBS UP and I will keep you updated!

Comment:
The reason why I didn't take the larger Inv H&S trade is because of the volume on the right shoulder. Should be highest on the left shoulder or head, diminished on the right shoulder.

The larger Inv H&S pattern that I alluded too previously has broken out again, but appears to be failing again. Expecting further decay to the downside. If we see a large green candle that takes out my position, things will certainly get interesting.

No stress, position sizing is most important win or lose.
Trade active:
Price pushed up suprisingly higher than expected. Managed to add to my short position at nice levels to allow me to reduce risk now.
Trade active:
Break below $6,300 should kill off the last of the bulls that are hanging on for dear life.
Trade active:
Bitcoin still struggling and im still expecting $5,900.

Remember, this trade idea was based off an earlier failed inv.. head and shoulders pattern.
Trade closed: stop reached:
Bitcoin is trading sideways for too long. Slight bullish momentum. False break out of pennant pattern.

I've exited my positions.
