Biraajmaan Tamuly3 hours agoHow low can the Bitcoin price go?Bitcoin’s latest rejection at $70,000 has presented some support levels below where a BTC price downtrend might stop.1641 Total viewsListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksWhile the overall trend remains sideways for Bitcoin (BTC), the daily chart has illustrated its third lower high (LH) since March, presenting several key support levels for a potential rebound. Bitcoin"s lower highs could spell trouble

The retail BTC market is largely on the sidelines as the 7-day daily moving average for spot volumes has dropped from $29 billion to $11 billion, or 62%, in four months.


However, Bitcoin futures and perpetual open interest are near all-time highs with a positive funding rate, i.e. long positions are paying short traders.

Bitcoin is now at risk of retesting its first support zone between $64,500 and $63,000, which coincides with the 50 and 100-day exponential moving averages (50, 100-EMA, blue and purple lines).BTC/USD 1-day chart. Source: Trading View


Although this particular support level was previously tested during its correction on July 25, there is also a potential liquidation event of around $1 billion (Binance). Hence, this can be a support level that can be defended as traders try to execute their orders in a liquidity range. However, a drop below $63,500 could trigger another leg down.Bitcoin liquidation heatmap (Binance). Source: Coinglass


The area between $61,400 and $62,300 is an untested daily order block. It doesn’t have historical significance in terms of volume, however, so it’s unlikely the price would rebound here.6M addresses hold 2.42M BTC from $56K

This particular support range also acts as a previous lower-low range, where BTC can potentially experience another liquidity sweep. In an extreme correction scenario, Bitcoin should ideally hold this level at around $60,000, as it has historical significance. 


Captain Faibik, a popular crypto analyst, also emphasized that while Bitcoin is currently consolidating at support, the next area to watch will be around $60,000 . He noted on X, Daily MA128 (65.2K) is now acting as Key Support. Bulls need to defend it, otherwise, Bitcoin might revisit the 60k Support area.
