Despite the optimistic long-term predictions, Bitcoin is currently trapped under a key resistance line.

Bitcoin needs to reclaim $59,600 to gain more upside momentum, wrote Titan of Crypto, in an Aug. 30 X post:

“If BTC reclaims $59,600 and breaks through the cloud twist, the clouds would flip from resistance to support. This might trigger an upward move.”

Bitcoin’s price breakout could be delayed until October, according to market analyst Elja Boom.

The analyst wrote in an Aug. 30 X post:

“No signs of breakout yet. Consolidation could happen till October before breakout. I'm confident of a breakout in Q4 but before that, there'll be some more choppiness!
