The price started a fresh decline and traded below the $20,000 level. It even broke the recent swing low and traded to a new weekly low at $19,619. The price is now trading below $20,750 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $20,250 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $20,300 level. It is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $22,790 swing high to $19,619 low.
