Uncertainty around Bitcoin is reflected by published market data as highly important Unemployment Rate data from United States beat analyst expectations of 3.6 with a reading of 3.5. Non Farm Payrolls in United States fell short of market expectations (239,000) with a reading of 236,000, continuing the decline from the previous figure of 326,000.

Bitcoin made an initial break below its 21 day Simple Moving Average at $27,900, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. Bitcoin's upper Bollinger Band® is at $28,724, suggesting that a downward move may follow. On the other hand, note that Bitcoin is approaching key support, around $126.57 away from $27,782. Dipping below could indicate further losses are ahead while a failure to break below this level is likely to be seen positively by market bulls.
Despite the market lacking direction, technical chart analysis strongly suggests Bitcoin is positioned for a downward move in the near term.
