Will BTC Face Further Declines?
Zooming in last week, Bitcoin was up by 10% and traded at a high of $62,510 after July’s market crash. As the week progressed, the token witnessed slight ups and downs, but it managed to maintain prices between $60K and $55,000.
By evaluating the BTC price chart, the daily relative strength index (RSI), which stands at 42.87, hints that the asset is approaching the neutral zone. Additionally, Bitcoin’s short-term 9-day MA, $58,334, stands above the 21-day MA, $62,474, reporting a brief bearish trend caused by the price dip, according to TradingView.

Notably, if BTC could step into the upward momentum, the asset’s price might touch its initial resistance at $59,635. As the bull run continues, the token may test subsequent resistance at the $60.5K range. However, in the event of a bearish turn, BTC will fall to find support at $57,631, and further losses will take the price to $56,896.
