On July 14th, the Bitcoin price projected a long red candle that engulfed the buyer’s candle used to break the $13500 barrier. The sellers’ candles destroyed buyers’ weapons of breakout indicating a scenario of a bull trap which may flood more supply pressure as hasty buyers may get liquidated.
Thus, the coin price reenters the range boundaries stretched from $31500 to $29630. The Bitcoin price currently trades at $30461, but with sustaining selling it could plunge 2.75% to reach $29630 support
The price behavior at the aforementioned support would be crucial to check whether the prevailing recovery is intact, or whether BTC could witness a longer correction to $28460.

When BTC Price Can Escape the Sideways Trend?
The fake breakout from $31500 accentuated this level as a high supply zone. On the other hand, if the BTC price showed sustainability above $29630 in the coming days, the coin holders could witness a prolonged sideways trend. Therefore, a genuine breakout from either of the range pattern is needed to determine the near future trend for Bitcoin.
- Bollinger Bands: The upper and lower band of the BB indicator aligned with range levels gives extra weightage to them.
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence: The MACD indicator slope in a negative crossover state indicates the sellers actively influencing the Bitcoin price.
