  • A close below Bitcoin’s higher low trend line could signal the start of a bearish trend and market breakdown.
  • Bitcoin’s weak rebound from the uptrend line raises questions about its market resilience and future growth potential.
  • Fluctuating support and resistance levels within Bitcoin’s weekly range are key indicators for predicting its future market direction.

The cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, has always been the subject of intense scrutiny and speculation. According to Rekt Capital, a crypto analyst, the technical uptrend supporting Bitcoin’s price has faltered. This shift in market dynamics calls for a closer examination of Bitcoin’s current standing and potential future trajectory.

At press time, BTC traded at $41,362.87, with a market capitalization of around $835.45 billion, per CoinStats. Despite a 24-hour trading volume of $20.84 billion, the digital currency has seen a minor decline of 0.38%.

Moreover, recent market activities suggest that Bitcoin struggles to maintain its previous momentum. Historically, Bitcoin has shown resilience by bouncing back from lower trend lines, demonstrating robust rallies. However, the latest rebound from the blue technical uptrend line has been notably weak.

Furthermore, Bitcoin’s behavior in response to its higher low trend line is crucial. A downside wick below this trend line, followed by a daily close above it, could potentially salvage the situation. As further highlighted by Rekt Capital, a daily candle close below this higher low likely initiates a breakdown process, signaling a bearish turn for Bitcoin.

Adding to these concerns is Bitcoin’s interaction with its weekly range. After transforming the previous support level into a new resistance zone, BTC has recently fallen into the weekly low range. If Bitcoin closes the week below the range low, it would confirm a bearish outlook and kickstart a breakdown process.

Concurrently, the situation has become precarious when considering Bitcoin’s shifting support and resistance levels within the weekly range. The critical point is whether the current support level turns into resistance. If this occurs, Bitcoin could descend into the red range. This juncture will be telling, as it will reveal whether Bitcoin is poised for a range breakdown.
