Therefore, the ongoing pullback is likely because traders are waiting for the next catalyst for the coin. Also, it is happening as the US and the German government continued selling Bitcoins, which has led to more supply in exchanges.

The 4H chart shows that Bitcoin bottomed at $58,408 on June 24th and then bounced back to $63,783 on Monday. It has then lost momentum and retreated to a low of 62,000, the Woodie pivot point.

The pair has also retreated below the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement point and the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicator have pointed downwards.

The RSI dropped below the neutral point at 50 while the two lines of the MACD have formed a bearish crossover. Therefore, the BTC/USD pair will likely continue falling as sellers target the psychological point at 60,000.

On the flip side, the pair will likely bounce back and retest this week's high of 63,780, which is also the 50% retracement point.
