The price of Bitcoin is in a descending channel since Tuesday's exponential increase which led the price of Bitcoin up to 7511$.

As the price is currently interacting with the channel's resistance and showing signs of weakness indicated by the wicks on the seller's side I am expecting it to go down from here to the baseline support 2 (dotted black line). This line is very interesting and I'll show you why on the daily chart on which it is drawn.

BTC/USD Daily chart

As you can see from the daily chart baseline support 1 is the bold black line, and baseline support 2 is the dotted black line. This line dates from 24.03.2017 when the uptrends first higher low was established.

That is why I am looking at this level as a key indicator or whether or not the uptrend is going to continue or are we in for another low. I am expecting a retracement back to that level which is in this case at 7287$ for a retest of support, and if that level serves a support uptrend continuation and a breakout from the descending channel on the upside. If not, I would be looking at another low to 5500$ or so.
