The formation of a “Symmetrical triangle” formation marks a state of indecision among investors. The Bitcoin (BTC) price has been facing selling pressure near the upper trend line of the triangle. However, BTC is in the consolidation phase Wednesday swinging in between the range of $38k and $36k.

The momentum oscillator, the daily relative strength index (RSI) trades at 46 indicating BTC bears are still enjoying the limelight. Furthermore, the price slipped below the 20 DMA making a setup for a bearish breakdown.

On the flip side, a break above the highs made on January 29 could see the immediate resistance at the psychological $40k mark.
