Bitcoin - Is choppy price action due to end in a week?

Bitcoin continues its choppy price action within the rectangle pattern (neutral zone). Its recent failures to move substantially higher from the resistance level suggest that not enough buyers are stepping into the market. That is also reflected in the low volume, which is significantly lower than just a few months ago. In addition to that, on 15th June 2022, the FED is set to increase interest rates and proceed with further steps toward economic tightening. We expect these developments to put more pressure on the U.S. stock market, to which Bitcoin is highly correlated. As a result, we expect the stock market to halt the bear market rally and reverse downward. Therefore, we have no reason to change our bearish view on BTCUSD; our price target stays at 25 000 USD.

As a result, the rectangle was formed; the upper bound acts as resistance while the lower bound acts as support. Red arrows indicate recent false bullish breakouts from the pattern.
