The last time when we covered an article on BTC/USD, the coin price was teasing a bullish recovery from the $46K mark due to the bullish divergence in the RSI indicator. However, the increase in selling pressure results in the fallout of the $46K mark and drops the price lower to the $40K zone.

The price struggles to sustain near the $40K support zone and forms a falling wedge pattern in the daily chart. The price rests close to the support trendline and indicates a reversal if the bulls overcome the selling pressure.

The price fall of 18% in the past two weeks results in the death cross of 50 and 100 days EMA in the daily chart. Therefore, the coin price indicates a rise in underlying bearishness and hints at a fallout. 

The daily Relative Strength Index (29) displays the oversold nature of the coin and shows the bearish move approaching saturation level. Therefore, a short-retracement is possible before a fallout.

However, the bulls will have to overcome multiple selling areas to reinstate the uptrend.
