In contrast, its 24-hour trading volume surged by 20.25% to $14,172,016,761. This indicates that there is still robust interest in BTC, even amid the bearish momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>BTC\/USD technical Indicators\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The stochastic RSI, with a reading of 19.40 and pointing downward, suggests that the bearish momentum is currently strong. Consequently, selling pressure may continue soon, pushing prices lower. However, a bullish reversal remains possible below the oversold threshold of 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-156776 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/17005500\/Screenshot-17.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Source-<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/4JlbUCUu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TradingView<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, the <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/glossary\/rsi-relative-strength-index\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RSI,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> having shifted below its signal line with a reading of 42.93, indicates that the market sentiment leans towards bearishness. Hence, a further price decline may be anticipated as the RSI has not yet reached oversold levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Besides these, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), currently at a positive reading of 0.14, suggests that there is still some buying pressure in the market. This trend could drive a bullish reversal, as the buying pressure may increase prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bullish recovery or bearish breakdown?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Bitcoin tests the waters at this critical support level, a recovery hinges on how the cryptocurrency responds. If <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BTC price <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bounces back above the $29,200 resistance level, it may signal a shift in sentiment, attracting more buyers and leading to a bullish recovery. However, we may witness further price declines if the bears breach the $28,933.74 support level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, while the bearish momentum poses a challenge, the potential for a bullish rebound remains. By monitoring Bitcoin\u2019s response to the current support levels, investors can better understand the cryptocurrency\u2019s future trajectory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>          &lt;!&#8211; <\/p>\n<div class=\"m-on pl-2 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-6 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-7-crypto-marketing-firms-of-the-year\/?utm_source=abovesidebartabnews&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img width=\"834\" height=\"833\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/15175104\/top_crypto_marketing_agencies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/15175104\/top_crypto_marketing_agencies.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top Crypto Marketing Firms \/ Agencies 2023; Here\u2019s Best Picks [Updated]\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-6 pl-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-10-web-3-games-to-explore-in-2023-here-list\/?utm_source=priceanalysisbar&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img width=\"834\" height=\"833\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23134356\/jpg_20221223_134223_0000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23134356\/jpg_20221223_134223_0000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top 10 Web3 Games To Explore In 2023; Here List\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                    &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"TabDicA\">\n<div class=\"TBAcon \">\n<div class=\"authorFlip tabcS\" id=\"TabA156775\">\n<div class=\"authorBox\">\n<div class=\"author_Image\">\n                                             <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/619e02617eb852ad0eef520ae989a259?s=400&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-200 photo\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/619e02617eb852ad0eef520ae989a259?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/619e02617eb852ad0eef520ae989a259?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" class=\"avatar avatar-200 photo\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" \/>                                       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"TabDesCm tabcS\" id=\"TabD156775\">\n<p>  The presented content may include the personal opinion of the author and is subject to market condition.
