Currently, a bullish candle seen on November 23 is the last time BTC’s bulls attempted to move the cryptocurrency’s price up in a significant way. The bears, however, prevailed once BTC got to the 14-day SMA the next day. The 14-day SMA is currently under the $3,600 and under the 50-day SMA.

The Stochastic Oscillators are pointing south within the oversold zone. Bitcoin’s price may possibly face consolidation movements during the next few trading sessions, around the $3,200 mark. These movements could see the bears gain strength to progress further.
