Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed consolidatory Bitcoin (BTC) price action characterizing the Asia trading session and Wall Street open.

Having reached $66,000 the day prior, BTC/USD returned to test the mettle of its recent gains as the short-term holder (STH) realized price came into play.

As Cointelegraph reported, this bull market trendline, just above $64,000 as of July 18, had previously been lost as support for the first time in nearly a year.

For popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital, BTC/USD was thus acting in a significant zone and in need of firm support confirmation.

“Bitcoin is not quite ready just yet for a successful retest of the ~$65,000 level as new support,” he acknowledged on X alongside an explanatory chart.“Bitcoin will need a similar retest like in the not-so-distant past (blue circle) to confirm a break back into the $65,000-$71,500 region.”BTC/USD chart.

A further post warned that BTC/USD “risks rejection” if the $65,000 area remains undefeated on daily timeframes.

Continuing, trader, analyst and podcast host Scott Melker, known as the “Wolf Of All Streets,” eyed positive low-timeframe relative strength index (RSI) signals for a clue as to where the market would head next.

“Bearish divergence cancelled. Nice,” he wrote in part of an X post.“We now have confirmed hidden bullish divergence (blue), which is a continuation signal.”BTC/USDT chart with RSI data. Source: Scott Melker/X

Employing Elliott Wave analysis, crypto trader and educator XForceGlobal saw reason for confidence in upside continuation following a consolidatory phase.

“Overall, we are looking for the continuation of a bullish trend if the buy pressure continues to at least finish the first wave 1 of the intermediate degree in orange to gain more confidence that we are finally going to break ATH, going into the conclusion of a primary wave 5 of the highest degree,” commentary on an updated chart concluded.BTC/USD chart.

A further bullish turnaround, meanwhile, came from a proprietary trading indicator created by the trading suite DecenTrader.

The latest print from Predator on three-day timeframes produced the first green “bullish” signal since early February — the start of Bitcoin’s run-up to all-time highs of $73,800.

The indicator uses a basket of inputs to generate “green” and “red” signals across multiple timeframes.
