Bitcoin Price Today
Analyst Willy Woo says that although the recent Bitcoin price correction eliminated excessive leverage in the market, there are still positions waiting for liquidation. Woo adds that there are still many speculative trades for BTC.
According to the analyst, the strong liquidations caused Bitcoin to fall to $58,000 earlier this week. This movement put BTC in the “oversold” region, meaning it was very cheap. Therefore, a temporary recovery was mandatory before further declines.
Woo added that the current BTC price recovery is only technical and not fundamental. He also pointed out the presence of a reversal and a hidden bullish divergence. “So far, this technical reversal is happening,” Woo stated, emphasizing that a break of the RSI trend line would indicate a technical recovery.
On the other hand, Bitget analyst Fernando Pereira highlights that the market has shifted to a “neutral” sentiment for BTC. This movement should bring more consolidation, with days without significant price changes.
“After reaching an important support level ($60,000), BTC sentiment indicators (like Fear and Greed and the funding rate) show neutrality. Meanwhile, we see BTC’s main moving averages quite distant from the price. This situation should result in a consolidated BTC around $60,000 for a few more days,” explained Pereira.
