The downward trend look set to continue with all indicators pointing towards a bearish run for the top twenty cryptos. The 30-day moving average has been dominantly above the 9 days moving average with the two forming a contracting triangular pattern across today’s focus coins.
The bearish outlook in the charts has affected investor sentiments with many investors making sale offs which led to RSIs going into the ‘oversold’ area as seen below:

The downward momentum affected investor sentiments in Bitcoin, with the coin dropping into the ‘oversold area’ for a few hours as seen in the RSI (A). This has seen Bitcoin’s market capitalization hit $60.6 Billion, having sold $6 Billion over the last 24 hours.
The bearish momentum looks set to continue, with the 30 days Moving average (B) dominantly above the 9-day moving average (C). The two formed a contracting triangular pattern which signals a strong downward trend.
