BTC/USD

At the moment, the BTC/USD quotes are consolidating. The trading instrument is testing the support level of 6400.00. The round level of 7000.00 is already a "mirror" resistance. Indicators signal the power of sellers:
- The price has fixed below 50 MA and 200 MA;
- MACD is in the negative zone and continues to decline.

Positions should be opened from key levels.

Trading recommendations

If the price fixes below 6400.00, a further drop in the cryptocurrency rate is expected. The movement is tending to the round level of 6000.00.

Alternative option. If the price fixes above 7000.00, it is necessary to look for entry points to the market to open long positions. The movement is tending to 7500.0-7700.0.

When tracking positions, one should use a trailing stop.
