Since then, the price has been chopping to the downside with more momentum selling seen last week.

The price on that day based near its 200 hour moving average and, on March 22, the price moved back above its 100 hour moving average staying above that moving average until March 31.In trading over the weekend, the high price was able to move back above its falling 100 hour moving average, but could not sustain momentum and after falling back below the moving average level (see blue line in the chart below), selling momentum increased.  Bearish.A move below the $40,516 level, and then the natural support at $40,000 would increase the bearish bias going forward.
