The technical picture implies that the coin is vulnerable to further sell-off, as an evening star candlestick pattern transpired on a 12-hour chart. This candlestick pattern consists of a large white candlestick, a Doji candle, and a red candle. Thus, the signal will be confirmed if the current 12-hour candlestick closes in a red zone.

Moreover, the TD Sequential indicator presented a sell signal in the form of a green nine candlestick on the 12-hour chart. This formation, coupled with the RSI reversal from overbought territory, gives credence to the short-term bearish forecast.
The first correction target is seen $27,000. Once it is broken, the sell-off continues towards $25,500. The critical support is created y a combination of a former resistance and the 4-hour SMA50 on approach to $24,000.
