​​​Bitcoin finds interim support

Bitcoin bearish scenario:

Monday's slip through the May-to-August support zone at $111,965.80-to-$111,743.44 - now because of inverse polarity a resistance zone - is technically bearish.

A fall through Monday's $108,757.90 intraday low would likely put the next lower minor support zone at $108,384.29-to-$107,335.44 on the map, ahead of the early July low at $105,159.03.

Bitcoin bullish scenario:

If Bitcoin were to hold above Tuesday's intraday low at $108,757.90, the $111,743.44-to-$111,965.80 resistance area may be revisited but may cap.

If overcome on a daily chart closing basis, the late July low at $114,700.28 may be back on the cards, together with the mid-July low at $115,739.64. 

For the current corrective move to the downside to have ended a rise above the 22 August high at $117,440.43 would need to be seen.
