The MACD indicator from the 4-hour chart also suggests that the price might continue to move downward as the MACD histograms are trending below the zero line. Both the MACD line and the Signal line have crossed and are trending below the MACD zero line, indicating a bearish trend, as seen in the above image. 
<h2 id="strong-possible-outcome-strong">Possible Outcome</h2> 
With the setup of the above indicators, it can be suggested that the price of Bitcoin is still bearish and that there are possibilities that it could still move further downward. 
If Bitcoin continues <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-enters-danger-zone-post-halving-analyst-warns-of-potential-downside/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">downward</a> and breaks below the support level of $59,653, it could witness a deep correction to create a new support level. However, if the price fails to break below this support level, it could start an upward correctional movement towards its previous level of $67,255 and if it manages to break above this level, the price will begin an uptrend.
