Bitcoin has been hovering near the $59,800 level, showing mixed signals across both the 1H and 4H charts. With the broader market awaiting a potential breakout towards the end of September, technicals reflect a market in consolidation mode, but with growing signals of a possible shift in momentum.
1H Chart Breakdown: Weak Momentum Continues
On the 1-hour chart, Bitcoin is struggling to maintain any upward momentum, hovering below the Bollinger Band Basis ($60,101). The RSI at 41.71 and the oversold Stochastic (%K at 12.62) show signs of a potential bounce, though weak MACD signals and a low ADX at 13.13 indicate limited trend strength.
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin faces a stronger challenge near the upper Bollinger Band ($61,348), with the RSI at 58.42 indicating that momentum is still neutral to slightly bullish. The Stochastic is signaling overbought conditions with %K at 72.63, suggesting a potential pullback, but the MACD remains bearish with a histogram reading of -70.04. The ADX at 20.91 is still weak, signaling that Bitcoin is lacking a definitive trend direction.
Support: $57,463 (Lower BB) Resistance: $61,348 (Upper BB) MACD: Bearish, showing weakening momentum OBV: 3.021M, showing some accumulation but not enough to signal a breakout
Actionable Strategy: Range-Bound Trading with Weak Momentum
Bullish Scenario: If Bitcoin can break above the $61,348 resistance (4H Upper BB), it may push toward $62,000 and beyond. A strong volume surge would confirm this breakout.
Bearish Scenario: Failure to break resistance could result in a pullback to $57,463 (4H support). If Bitcoin drops below this, watch for a further retracement to $54,000, which is still possible based on historical patterns.
Action Point: Traders should monitor the $61,348 resistance closely for any breakout confirmation. In the event of a pullback, consider entering long positions near $57,463 if support holds.
