Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price trajectory uncertain after briefly piercing $26,000 support.


Sideways weekend trading soon turned sour into the new week, and upset overnight meant that bulls were unable to recoup lost ground.#Bitcoin Weekend price action wasn"t exciting until the later hours on Sunday as expected.

“Bitcoin failed to break through local resistance in the form of a descending trend line, and it looks like a little bearish right shoulder may form,” analyst BaroVirtual, an ambassador for on-chain data platform Whalemap, summarized.


BaroVirtual uploaded a daily chart snapshot to X (formerly Twitter), showing a potential head-and-shoulders formation about to conclude.


“If true, BTC risks falling into the $22,000-$20,000 range,” they added.BTC/USD annotated chart. Source: BaroVirtual/X


That perspective chimed with others already expecting a return toward the $20,000 mark — something absent from the BTC price charts for six months.


Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital, who previously envisaged the possible reappearance of the low $20,000s as part of a breakdown from a double-top structure, now placed emphasis on holding current levels as support.


“Bitcoin could downside wick into the ~$25000-$26000 area on this current move down,” he wrote in part of fresh X analysis on Sept. 25.“But if ~$26000 begins to act as resistance then that could be a bearish contributing sign that the ~$25000-$26000 area is weakening as support. If BTC turns the ~$25000-$26000 area into new resistance, price would collapse somewhere into the ~$22000-$24000 region to find a Local Bottom ‘C.’”

Macro markets, meanwhile, opened to another potential headwind for Bitcoin and crypto — an unrelentingly strong U.S. dollar.

“DXY rocketing higher - to the detriment of BTC Crypto and other risk assets,” Matthew Dixon, CEO of crypto rating platform Evai, wrote in part of a reaction.


Dixon had previously eyed a potential cooling off in DXY strength, giving Bitcoin and altcoins room for a relief bounce.
