The above candlestick pattern consists of a flag and a flagpole. Bear flags usually form during consolidation after a strong rally.
The formation of the pattern indicates that the bears are increasing selling pressure after a short-term accumulation period. However, it should be noted that the bears may lose momentum if the accumulation phase lasts too long.
Bitcoin has tumbled recently due to the FTX disaster, falling to a two-year low of $15,632 on Wednesday. The next day, however, the largest cryptocurrency rallied strongly following recent better-than-expected consumer data (CPI).
