The price is currently trading near a major resistance area , which is in the form of a bearish trend line on the on the 4-hours chart (data feed from Bitstamp) of BTC/USD.
The most important part is the fact that the 100 simple moving average (H4 chart) is also positioned around the trend line resistance. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $705 high to $605 low is also around the same trend line resistance area.
