Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped sharply in the last 24 hours, losing more than 10%. The price drop left many cryptocurrency investors in a panic. This sharp decline raised concerns about the future trajectory of the cryptocurrency market.
Current Status of Daily and 4-Hour Bitcoin Price Charts
Looking at the daily timeframe price chart, it is evident that Bitcoin’s failure to break above the critical resistance level of $68,000 led to a significant downward trend. The price continuously fell, breaking both the $60,000 support and the 200-day moving average around $61,000. Currently trading at around $50,000, Bitcoin risks testing the $48,000 support level. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates oversold conditions, suggesting a short-term bottom might be near.
The 4-hour price chart reveals a nearly vertical drop since breaking the $60,000 support level. This bearish market structure intensified as it fell below July’s low of $54,000. The RSI in this timeframe also shows a clear oversold signal, indicating a possible consolidation above the $48,000 support level in the short term.
Impact of Bitcoin Funding Rates
The futures market played a significant role in Bitcoin’s recent price crash, with a large long liquidation contributing to the free fall in price. This is clearly visible in the Funding Rates metric chart, which shows whether buyers or sellers are more aggressive.
The recent market crash led to the most negative funding rate observed in 2024. While negative funding rates can lead to a short squeeze and a potential V-shaped recovery, it is too early to predict such an outcome at this stage.
The sharp drop in Bitcoin’s price undoubtedly shook investor confidence, but oversold signals from the RSI on both daily and 4-hour charts suggest the market might stabilize soon. Key levels to watch are the $48,000 support and the behavior of funding rates, which will provide more insight into the market’s direction.
Despite the current downtrend, the possibility of a short-term recovery cannot be ignored. If Bitcoin manages to stay above the $48,000 support level and funding rates start to rise, a consolidation period or even a V-shaped recovery could be expected.
