Should the breakdown materialize, the $110K region, backed by the nearby 100-day moving average, could serve as a strong support area.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, if the channel manages to contain the price, the bullish momentum may continue, paving the way for new highs toward $130K and potentially further. <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTD-Daily-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the 4-hour timeframe, BTC recently attempted a breakout above the $123K resistance but quickly failed to sustain it, resulting in a sharp decline that also broke the short-term trendline built over the past few weeks. This rejection signals weakness at the highs and has shifted the market\u2019s short-term structure.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, the $116K area stands out as the key support that could trigger another bounce. If this level gives way, however, a deeper drop toward the $111K region becomes increasingly likely. With the RSI recovering after dipping below 50, the price action suggests a possible retest of $116K before confirming the next move. Whether this support holds or breaks will set the tone for Bitcoin\u2019s short-term trend.<a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BTC-4H-7-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>On-chain Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3>Bitcoin Open Interest<\/h3>\n<p>This chart shows Bitcoin\u2019s Short-Term Holder SOPR with its 30-day EMA compared to price. SOPR above 1 means short-term holders are selling at a profit, while below 1 signals selling at a loss.<\/p>\n<p>During rallies like early 2023, SOPR stayed above 1, confirming profit-taking. In contrast, dips below 1 mark short-term capitulation during corrections. Now, with Bitcoin around $118K and SOPR hovering above 1, short-term holders are taking profits.<\/p>\n<p>However, the magnitude of the profit taking has been declining during the recent price highs since the beginning of 2024. This observation is evident as there is a clear divergence between the price highs and STH-SOPR highs. With the profit margins shrinking for the short-term holders, the market might soon be in trouble, as this can be one of the early signs of reversal.<a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bitcoin-Short-Term-Holder-SOPR-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-analysis-btc-tests-crucial-support-after-latest-ath\/\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Tests Crucial Support After Latest ATH<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price made a new record high just above the $124K mark a few days ago, before printing two consecutive bearish daily candles and dropping back to a key area.
