The bears are restraining the bulls from making the move, and the recent bullish momentum of BTC is gradually diminishing. Bitcoin is at a critical juncture, with its price hovering around $62,000.
The current price momentum is at a declining pace, down by 1.56% in the last 24 hours. Notably, BTC climbed from a low of $62,685 to a high of $64,043. During this dip, BTC’s trading volume has soared by 37.64% to $27.90 billion. At press time, BTC traded at $62,728 as per CMC data.
Moreover, the BTC Fear and Greed Index stays at 48, suggesting neutral sentiment in the market. Reportedly, Bitcoin has witnessed a 24-hour liquidation of $16.67 million.
Notably, the Federal Reserve’s potential rate cut speculated for September could serve as a critical bullish signal for Bitcoin. According to Ali Charts, if Bitcoin can close above $65,440, he predicts the next local top of BTC might be around $86,910.
Can BTC Recover from the Bear Hold?
Bitcoin started trading in the $60.9K range when the week began. As days progressed, the token’s price fell back to a low of $58,753. The downside pressure breaks, and BTC soars to a high of $64,879, managing to trade within the $62K range.
If BTC continues to climb up and break the descending momentum near the $62.9K level, the asset will likely test the $63,576 resistance soon. However, if the BTC price fell back to the $62K mark, the nearby support level might be at $61,706.
Currently, the daily relative strength index (RSI) stands at 53.64, indicating BTC’s price momentum in neutral market sentiment. Meanwhile, the short-term 9-day MA is found at $61,984, and the long-term 21-day MA is at $60,426, below the current price.
