Analyst: Bitcoin range “congested and critical”<\/h2>\n

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro<\/a> and TradingView<\/a> showed BTC\/USD firmly rangebound at around $19,000 overnight, moving only around $400 up or down.<\/p>\n

United States equities opened with no significant volatility, this focused more on the United Kingdom, where the pound reacted to news that Liz Truss had resigned as prime minister.<\/p>\n

Chart data circulating<\/a> on social media at the time of writing showed that pound and BTC volatility had become practically identical, the latter already in its least volatile period since 2020.<\/p>\n

With macro triggers failing to have an impact, analysts flagged solid support and resistance levels keeping price action in check.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin continues to trade in a congested and critical range,\u201d Keith Alan, founder of analytics resource Material Indicators, summarized<\/a> on the day.<\/p>\n

Alan highlighted two key moving averages (MAs) closing in on each other and acting as resistance boundaries to the trading range.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 21-Day MA has confluence with resistance at the trend line from the ATH and the 50-Day MA has confluence with resistance at the 2017 Top,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Exchange data hints at strength of breakdown<\/h2>\n

Continuing investigation of the current trading range, Filbfilb, co-founder of the trading suite DecenTrader, had<\/a> some lackluster news for bulls.<\/p>\n

Analysis of liquidation data on major exchange Bitfinex yielded a conclusion that an upside breakout from the range would “not have the momentum that a downside break would achieve.”<\/p>\n

The danger of a serious support loss thus remained a firm possibility based on trader activity.<\/p>\n

Alongside a chart of liquidations, Filbfilb summarized that “a break above the range will likely be less brutal than one to the down.”<\/p>\n
