BTCUSD Analysis: Red Flags as Short-Term Downtrend Takes Hold

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the BTCUSD for August 6, 2025.

Technical Analysis of BTCUSD

BTCUSD Daily Chart Insights

• Corrective Movement: After a strong rally from April to mid-July, the price has entered a pullback phase. It has broken below the short-term (purple) moving average, suggesting a loss of immediate upward momentum. The market is currently at a critical decision point, testing a key support level.
• Key support area: If the price fails to hold the 11,360 support and closes decisively below it, a deeper correction is likely. The first target for sellers would be the mid-term (black) moving average around 11,000. A break of this level would significantly weaken the bullish case and could lead to a further decline towards the major long-term support provided by the green moving average near 10,100.

BTCUSD 2-hour Chart Analysis

• Bearish Sentiment: The moving averages have shifted into a bearish configuration (or are approaching one), where the shorter-term MAs sit beneath the longer-term ones, with all three starting to trend downward. An attempted rally in early August met strong rejection at the mid-term black and long-term green moving averages, which served as formidable dynamic resistance levels. This unsuccessful breakout attempt established a lower high, further solidifying the emerging downtrend pattern.
• Breakout scenarios: To establish momentum for a bullish reversal, buyers need to successfully protect the 11,220 support zone. If this level holds firm, it may trigger a rebound. Nevertheless, dismantling the bearish framework would require the price to accomplish several key bullish objectives: first penetrating above the nearby resistance at 11,362, and then surpassing the major resistance confluence at 11,540 which comprises the prior peak and black MA.

BTCUSD Pivot Indicator

• A sharp, momentum-driven decline unfolded on August 5th, piercing through established support zones. In the aftermath of this fall, the market initiated a corrective rally that faced strong rejection at the mid-term black moving average. Currently, the price is trading sideways following this latest rejection, indicating a possible resumption of the downward trajectory.
• Bearish Scenario: Given the rejection at the 11,410 resistance and the prevailing bearish framework, the most probable outcome is a prolongation of the declining trend. A breach beneath the nearby support at 11,350 would likely trigger a revisit to the 11,280 low. A convincing breakdown below the crucial 11,200 support threshold would validate the next downward phase.
• Bullish Scenario: For a bullish scenario to develop, buyers must first neutralize the selling pressure and drive the price back above the 11,363 horizontal threshold. A genuine breakout would demand a sustained advance beyond the formidable resistance zone created by the mid-term MA at 11,410 and the long-term MA at 11,460. In the absence of this breakthrough, any upward movement would likely remain a corrective rebound within the prevailing downtrend.
