While Bitcoin’s long-term trend for Q4 and early 2025 looks positive, recent signs indicate there might be downside volatility in the short term.Bitcoin OI retests $35B as funding rate stays flat


After a local bottom at $52,150 on Sept. 6, BTC has been on a parabolic rise, breaking past the previous lower-high pattern to facilitate a higher-high trend.


In the meantime, Bitcoin open interest (OI) has increased rapidly, reaching as high as $35 billion on Sept. 27. This is on par with previous OI tops in 2024, witnessed during February and July 2024.Bitcoin funding rate and open interest chart. Source: Velo.data


While open interest indicates that the futures market remains heavily involved in dictating price movement, a comparatively flat funding rate indicates perpetual traders are still “indecisive.”

In other words, spot traders are currently selling aggressively into $66K resistance.


Thus, BTC"s chances of downside market volatility remain high in the coming week.Bitcoin forms a bearish div on 4-hour chart


From a technical perspective, “Uptober” may begin with a short-term correction for BTC to form a higher low pattern. As illustrated, Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart highlights a bearish divergence between its price and the relative strength index (RSI).Bitcoin 4-hour chart. Source: TradingView


From its current price point, an immediate correction down to $62,300, or a 4.66% decline, is the immediate level. As observed, many liquidity wicks were formed near $62,000 en route to breaking above $66,000. So, an immediate bounce here is likely.


However, if the correction persists lower, the next retest range is an order block between $59,500 and $61,000, which also presents a confluence with the Fibonacci 0.5 level.


The EMA-50, 100, and 200 levels would also support a drop down to $61,000, which means this is technically the lowest correction range expected in the coming week.


A daily close below $60,000 may jeopardize the current bullish momentum.
