Bitcoin’s daily chart has shown the inverted flag pattern several times, and it all led to a deeper correction in its price.

On December 14th, the daily chart showed a long higher price rejection candle, indicating the sellers are defending the higher price aggressively. The following downfall registered a 4% loss in the last two days and breached the Flag pattern’s support trendline.
The daily candle closing below the trendline will signal the pattern completion and the likelihood of a deeper correction. With sustained selling, the Bitcoin price will drop 8.5% lower to revisit $15600 support.
However, the $16800 and $16125 are significant support levels where buyers could wrestle for trend control.
