BTC's Funding Rate remains relatively low, between 0.00% and 0.01%, indicating a bias to be Long, but it's not a substantial bias. 

Traders are relatively balanced here between Longs and Shorts.

Technical analysis

  • It was a really great weekend, with Bitcoin moving higher and reclaiming above the key horizontal level of $63,400.
  • We'd like to see price use the $63,400 horizontal level as new support, which can help propel price higher from there. 
  • Above the current price, the major horizontal resistance is the $68,900 level. 
  • On the downside, if $63,400 is broken, we'd expect price to find support in the zone between $60,300 to $61,800. 
  • The RSI is at 57, so this indicator suggests there could be more upside momentum for price ahead.

Cryptonary's take

The market has made a very positive move up over the last five days or so, reclaiming a key level of $63,400. We didn't expect price to move up as strongly as this last week. 

However, with positive comments from Powell at Jackson Hole, the market has responded to the upside. The market may now consolidate until Thursday and Friday's data and will likely move up or down more materially based on how that data comes in. 

In the immediate term (next few days), we don't have a clear view of how price might move here. So, we'd look for price to retest the $63,400 horizontal support and bounce from that level. That would increase our confidence that Bitcoin can move up and retest its overhead resistance at $68,900.
