The token is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">trading<\/a> at around $84,035, with its daily trading volume settled at $32.867 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin traded between $83,647 and $86,648, showing a wide intraday range. Over the past seven days, BTC has moved between $83,022 and $87,085, with the broader consolidation zone and key levels traders are watching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decline came as late long positions were flushed from the market, with around $500 million in long positions liquidated. However, some of that capital appears to have moved back into the market, keeping leverage elevated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin\u2019s recent price action is unfolding inside a tight triangle, with the latest move bouncing from the lower trendline. A sustained hold of this structure could still leave room for a breakout toward higher levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor is Bitcoin\u2019s bull market <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DaanCrypto\/status\/2107555757898035678?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">support band<\/a>. As the band rises alongside price during a bull cycle, BTC has historically tended to revisit it. Such retests can trigger bearish sentiment. They can also become important areas for buyers if the broader uptrend remains intact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For bulls, reclaiming $85,000 would help restore short-term momentum. If BTC fails to recover the level and selling pressure persists, the lower end of the recent range could come back into focus.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-bitcoin-s-key-support-and-resistance-levels\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin\u2019s Key Support and Resistance Levels\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the bearish grip intensifies, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/bitcoin-whales-keep-accumulating-as-price-slips-100-1000-btc-wallets-add-113950-btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">BTC price<\/a> could fall to the nearest support range at $83.9K. Assuming the sellers continue to dominate, additional downside pressure is applied, and it is likely to trigger the death cross to emerge and gradually send the price down, below $83,821.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, with Bitcoin\u2019s market trend taking a bullish turn, the price could rise to the resistance level at $84.1K. As the upside trajectory gains more traction, potential bulls would initiate the formation of the golden cross, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/bitcoin-btc-is-struggling-does-the-path-back-to-80k-still-hold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">price<\/a> may gradually climb above $84,269.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-btc-momentum-weakens-more-losses-ahead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">BTC Momentum Weakens: More Losses Ahead?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four-hour technical analysis shows that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is positioned below the zero line. Also, the signal line remains above zero; it shows mixed momentum in the Bitcoin market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broader trend still has some positive strength, but the short-term momentum is weakening. Traders may watch for a move back above the signal line for signs of a recovery, or fall further below zero if selling pressure builds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/in.tradingview.com\/symbols\/BTCUSDT\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">TradingView<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading resting at 35.32 shows that Bitcoin is facing weak buying momentum. Moreover, it is getting closer to the oversold territory within the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the asset is not technically oversold yet, as that is generally considered below 30, but the value indicates that the sellers currently have the upper hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crypto Market Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/hyperliquid-and-mas-clash-over-singapores-regulatory-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Hyperliquid and MAS Clash Over Singapore\u2019s Regulatory Reach<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) fell around 2% to $84,035, slipping below the key $85K level as the momentum weakened.
