BITCOIN PRICE ANALYSIS & PREDICTION (August 20) – BTC Gathers Liquidity For A Major Move, Where Is It Heading Next?

Bitcoin’s price is still weak but has seen a small increase after rejecting $60,300 last weekend. However, it is gathering momentum as it forms a new bearish pattern with a 55.8% dominance at press time. 

After tapping $62,750 two weeks ago, Bitcoin marked resistance there and showed signs of weakness. This led to a notable reduction and the price dropped to a low of $56,000 last week. It rejected this low and increased an inch above the $60,200 level in the weekend.

Losing grip above this level to $58,200, BTC currently looks poise for a major move as it slowly gathers liquidity for a sell-off. Although the price is briefly up today as it currently trades at around$58,700.

Looking at the bigger picture on the 4-hour timeframe, the bearish build-up is well captured in a lower low and lower high movement and from a technical perspective, the price may drop into the $54k range this week.

A large extension of this drop could plummet the price straight to $50k. Bitcoin’s wedge’s lower boundary should provide support if the monthly low collapses. $70k is a key level to watch for a wedge break-up.

Now that Bitcoin’s fear and greed index stands at 43 after rising a bit to 50 recently, Bitcoin could paint more bearish scenarios until it enters an oversold condition. For now, the supply level is high.

While the $59,704 and $62,745 levels are currently held as resistance, $66,650 would be the next resistance level to watch if the price breaks up.
