The crypto market has returned to the green with Bitcoin price pushing north of $20,000 after a severe rejection from those levels in August. The market is heading into the weekend, and with two major events in the next few days, there could a spike in volatility.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin price trades at $21,000 with a 10% and 4% profit in the last 24 hours and 7 days, respectively. Data from Coingecko shows that BTC is overperforming in the crypto top 10 by market cap as other assets lag and present minor losses.

Bitcoin Price Near Overhead Resistance, Can Bulls Push Through?

As Bitcoin flirts with its current levels, data from Material Indicators (MI) have begun showing liquidity on the move. The benchmark crypto was able to fill over $15 million in asks orders as it broke past critical resistance at $20,000.

Now, the most important level of resistance stands at $21,500, for the short term. At those levels, the Bitcoin price is seeing selling orders stacking from $7 million to around $12 million in the past 12 hours. These orders might operate as resistance and slow down any attempts from the bulls to reclaim higher levels.

Material Indicators show that the current price action is being bought by retail investors and by large investors with buying orders of over $100,000. If Bitcoin price is to show a bullish continuation, the latter should continue to bid and support the cryptocurrency.

However, investors with $100,000 bid orders have stayed flat as BTC’s price trends to the upside. This hints at a potential re-test of support with $19,500 to $19,800 as potential targets to prevent further losses and preserve short-term bullish bias.

Bitcoin Price Critical Levels On Higher Timeframes

Additional data provided by Caleb Franzen, Senior Market Analysis for Cubic Analytics, shows that Bitcoin has displayed a similar price action across 2022. In previous months, the cryptocurrency’s downside trend has been followed by periods of consolidation.

As seen below, these periods have hinted at more downside. Thus, it is critical that Bitcoin price reclaims north of $25,000, $28,000, and $32,000, or the market risk a slow bleed into fresh lows. Franzen said while sharing the following chart

Bitcoin consolidated for 107 days starting in early Q1 2022 before breaking down for the next leg lower. The current consolidation range has lasted for 83 days. I don’t expect the current market will match the 107-day range, but it’s worth noting that they can last for a while.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
