On the bigger time frame, the picture is less bullish. The rate of the main crypto is closer to the support level, which is a bearish signal.

If a breakout of the $117,201 mark happens, the accumulated energy might be enough for a drop to the $115,000-$116,000 range.

From the midterm point of view, the price of BTC has made a false breakout of the $123,236 level. If the weekly bar closes far from that mark, bears may seize the initiative, which may lead to an ongoing correction to the $112,000 area.

Bitcoin is trading at $117,837 at press time.
