Intraday charts suggest scope for a minor bounce to $7,300.
Acceptance below support at $7,087 would bolster the short-term bearish setup and open the doors for a re-test of recent lows near $6,500.
Bitcoin has potential for a small price bounce after hitting two-week lows early on Thursday.
The top cryptocurrency by market value fell to a two-week low of $7,072 during the Asian trading hours and was last seen changing hands at $7,160 on Bitstamp, representing a 0.8 percent drop on a 24-hour basis.
The week began on a negative note with the cryptocurrency registering a 2.4 percent drop on Monday after facing strong rejection above $7,600.
The cryptocurrency has been charting lower highs and lower lows since topping out at $13,880 in June and is currently down more than 45 percent from that level.
A minor bounce could be seen before a potential deeper sell-off.
On the 4-hour chart, the RSI is creating higher lows, contradicting the slow drop in prices.
The 14-day relative strength index is hovering in bearish territory below 50, having violated an ascending trendline earlier this week.
A break below the immediate support at $7,087, if confirmed, would bolster the bearish setup and open the doors for a re-test of recent lows near $6,500.
