The digital asset has been unable to surpass higher resistance levels, which technical analysts deem essential for a retest of the all-time high levels reached in March.<\/p>\n<h2>What On-Chain Metrics Reveal<\/h2>\n<p>According to a recent analysis shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), technical analyst Inspo Crypto has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/InspoCrypto\/status\/1826606347141452270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted <\/a>the cautious sentiment among options traders. While they remain bullish, they continue to hedge against potential downside risks, suggesting an expectation of a potential market shakeout or negative news.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst also contends that the selling pressure on the upside has been robust. Wednesday\u2019s price push-up primarily triggered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/crypto-liquidations-1-billion-bitcoin-crashes-52000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell orders<\/a>, leading to the liquidation of high-leverage long positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Delving deeper into the market data, the options market reflects a mixed outlook with slight bullish tendencies, but the 25-Delta Skew indicates uncertainty, particularly with upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-hashrate-nears-record-levels-amidst-price-decline-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">economic events <\/a>influencing trader caution.<\/p>\n<p>In the futures market, the data shows short-term bullish momentum but with increased volatility. The rising open interest suggests more market participation, yet the liquidation heatmap highlights the risks of sudden price swings.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Breakout To $63,000 Or Consolidation At $60,000?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Turning to the spot market and technical analysis, the data paints a picture of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/trump-floats-bitcoin-payments-as-solution-to-35-trillion-us-debt-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bullish momentum<\/a>, but the cryptocurrency faces strong resistance at the $61,300 to $61,500 levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The volume, however, appears insufficient to facilitate a significant breakout, and the order book data reveals substantial sell-side pressure at these levels.<\/p>\n<p>Inspo Crypto further found that the average trader sentiment is neutral to slightly bullish, with a rating of 5.5 out of 10. Traders are cautiously optimistic, but there are clear signs of uncertainty and potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/uniswap-market-swing-yields-12-gains-can-uni-sustain-the-momentum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volatility<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>The price forecast for the next 24 hours suggests that Bitcoin may continue attempting to break the $61,300 to $61,500 resistance level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, a genuine breakout seems unlikely without a substantial increase in trading volume. If the resistance holds, a pullback toward the $60,000 or even the $59,500 level is possible.<\/p>\n<p>For the rest of the week, if Bitcoin manages to break through the $61,500 level with increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/september-10-a-bitcoin-game-changer-says-hedge-fund-founder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volume<\/a>, a move toward the $62,500 to $63,000 range could follow. Otherwise, consolidation between $59,500 and $61,000 is likely, especially if market volume remains low and selling pressure persists.<\/p>\n<p>Late Wednesday, BTC climbed above $61,7000 for the first time in nearly two weeks but has since fallen back to the $60,000 level. Still, the Bitcoin price is up 1.8% over the past 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After experiencing a significant 25% pullback earlier this month, plunging to the $49,000 level, the king of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC), has managed to consolidate above the crucial $60,000 support for the last 24 hours.
