Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s leading cryptocurrency, has recently experienced a pullback, with its price heading for the $66,736 level. This dip follows a period of significant bullish activity that had previously pushed BTC’s price above this mark. As the price of the crypto asset approaches this critical level, the key question is whether the bulls can regain strength and drive BTC back into an upward trajectory.


In this analysis, we will examine Bitcoin’s recent price movement with the help of technical indicators and explore the possibility of a bullish recovery at the $66,736 mark.


With a market capitalization of over $1.3 trillion and a trading volume of over $29 billion, BTC’s price was up 0.62% at around $67,238 as of the time of writing. Within the previous day, there has been a rise in BTC’s market value of 0.68% and 64.24% in its trading volume.


BTC’s Price Action And Technical Indicators: What Are They Signaling?


Currently, on the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin has formed two bearish momentum candlesticks moving toward the $66,736 level. Although BTC is still trading above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the price may drop to the $66,736 mark before beginning to ascend again.

Also, the 4-hour Composite Trend Oscillator indicates that BTC’s price may maintain its bearish trajectory toward the $66,736 mark, as the signal line has crossed below the SMA of the indicator, and both lines are currently attempting to move out of the overbought zone.


On the 1-day chart, after successfully breaking above the $66,736 resistance level, Bitcoin is attempting a retest with a bearish move back to this level. It is also notable that since rising above the 100-day SMA, the crypto asset has maintained strong bullish momentum, suggesting that this current pullback may halt at the $66,736 mark.

Finally, the 1-day composite trend oscillator indicates that BTC’s price remains bullish, as both the signal line and SMA of the indicator are attempting to rise above the zero line. BTC is also trading above the 1-day SMA, and based on these indicators, it can be suggested that the current pullback may be short-term.


Potential Scenarios: Bullish Rebound Or Further Decline For Bitcoin?


Based on current price actions and technical indicators, the price of Bitcoin may drop to the $66,736 mark. If Bitcoin’s price drops to this level and then rebounds, it will begin to ascend toward the $71,909 resistance level. Should the price break above this resistance, it may continue to rise, testing the $73,811 level and potentially moving further to create a new all-time high.


However, if BTC’s price drops to the $66,736 mark and closes below, it will continue to drop toward the $64,616 support level. When Bitcoin breaks below this level, it will decline further to test the $60,152 support range and possibly other lower levels.
