On October 16th, the BTC price experienced a significant inflow of buying pressure, resulting in a decisive breakout above a downward-sloping resistance trendline. This trendline had been guiding the coin\u2019s three-month correction, and its breach signaled a new potential recovery phase. However, the surge was largely driven by unconfirmed rumors regarding the approval of Bitcoin\u2019s spot ETF<\/a>, raising questions about the sustainability of this breakout.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also Read: Bitcoin Hits $29K, SEC In Constructive Talks With Bitcoin ETF Issuers: Bloomberg Analyst<\/a><\/p>\n Since the early weeks of September, the Bitcoin price<\/a> embarked on a relief rally, rebounding from a psychological support level of $25,000. Over the past five weeks, the coin has appreciated nearly 13.5%, reaching a current trading price of $28,380.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During this uptrend, the coin executed a significant breakout from a resistance trendline, which had been framing the three-month-long correction<\/a>. Despite this, the lack of confirmation regarding the speculative Bitcoin ETF news hindered the coin\u2019s progress beyond the $29,000 mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Currently posting an intraday loss of 0.2%, the BTC is poised for a retest of the newly established support level. This retest will be crucial in determining whether the breakout can be sustained and whether the recovery can be extended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Should bullish momentum continue, this coin could target a 12% gain, reaching the $32,000 level.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the recent surge proves to be merely sentiment-driven and fails to maintain levels above the breached trendline, we could see the BTC plunge back below. Such a breakdown would invalidate the October 16th breakout, categorizing it as a \u2018bull trap<\/a>,\u2019 thereby ramping up selling pressure in the market. In this bearish scenario, the coin could experience a 10% drop, potentially revisiting the $25,000 support level.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Share this article on:<\/p>\n –><\/p>\n Sahil is a dedicated full-time trader with over three years of experience in the financial markets.
