Brian Nibley2 hours ago3 reasons why Bitcoin traders anticipate BTC price to briefly sweep the $27.5K levelOverhead resistance levels continue to constrict Bitcoin price expansion, leading some analysts to forecast a brief sweep of the $27,500 level.1437 Total views9 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Market AnalysisJoin us on social networksAfter a spectacular first half of 2023, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) appears to have stalled out, being stuck between $29,000 and $31,500.


There could be reason to believe that in the near term, the price of Bitcoin will tend to trade sideways or to the downside. This thesis can be based on three factors, with two of them involving technical analysis and the third involving fundamentals.Bitcoin price resistance at $32,000 has been holding strong


Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, recently released a market update in which he notes the significant resistance Bitcoin has failed to break through at the $31,000–$32,000 level:“Bitcoin is trading into the most significant resistance on the chart, $32K. Despite a swath of positive news stories over the last month for the crypto industry; from the Blackrock ETF announcement, the XRP legal victory through to presidential candidate Kennedy stating he would back the US Dollar with Bitcoin today; nothing has helped Bitcoin sustain momentum above $31K.”


The report goes on to state that if positive news of this magnitude doesn’t translate into upward price momentum, this alone could be a bearish signal.Analysts question whether Bitcoin"s $29,500 support will hold


While Bitcoin has not traded far below the $30,000 mark for almost a month, a lack of resistance beneath $29,500 indicates that a breakout to the downside from the current consolidation could lead to further decline.


As crypto market commentator Colin Talks Crypto has pointed out, the next major support levels for BTC/USD don’t kick in until somewhere around the $27,500 level. Not only does this level act as support based on previous price action, but both the 200-week moving average (MA) and the 200-day MA have begun to converge just beneath it.#Bitcoin looks to have a fair chance of dropping to around $27.3k where there is a confluence of both:

2. where the 200 weekly MA (pink) acts as support.

For the past month, BTC/USD has been holding within a tight consolidation range. Support for this range appears around the $29,500 level. A daily close beneath support could open the path to a further move downward toward $27,500.


However, volumes have been declining, suggesting that perhaps the recent spike downward could be less bearish than it seems. If volume picks up amid another pullback, the bears could easily take control of the market.BTC/USD 1-day chart. Source: TradingView

The Capriole Investments report cited earlier emphasizes that “price is only half the picture.” Fundamental factors also come into play. Among those most worth considering might be metrics that pertain to questions such as:What’s happening with on-chain flows?How are investors allocating capital?How does overall market sentiment and the macro environment impact Bitcoin?Is network security growing?


The Capriole Bitcoin Macro Index is an aggregate measurement of 40 fundamental Bitcoin variables, including on-chain, macroeconomic and equity market metrics. All factors have been combined into a single machine learning model.


The report concludes:“The Macro Index today remains in a period of relative value (below zero), suggesting decent long-term value for multi-year horizon investors. However, the Index just re-entered contraction. On-chain and macro fundamentals have started to trend down following a 7-week period of recovery which started at $26K in early June.”Capriole Bitcoin Macro Index.

Despite these near-term bearish developments, there’s little reason to be concerned long-term. The next halving event is less than a year away, and positive news keeps flowing in.


Perhaps most importantly of all, the hash rate has risen by 50% in the last six months alone. This suggests that the Bitcoin network is stronger than ever and continuing to grow at a lightning-fast pace.
