Technical analysis: BTC breaks below descending wedge
Bitcoin price broke below the descending wedge on Monday, declining approximately 7.5% from its daily high of $63,369 to a low of $58,402. After retesting its crucial weekly support near $58,375, BTC rebounded by 3.3%, closing at $60,293. BTC trades at around $61,000 at the time of writing, edging up more than 1% on Tuesday.
If the weekly support at $58,375 holds, Bitcoin could encounter resistance at several key levels.
- The lower trendline of the descending wedge, which sits around $62,000.
- The daily resistance and the upper trendline of the descending wedge, which hovers near $63,956.
- The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and the weekly resistance are at $66,631 and $67,147, respectively.
A breakthrough above these resistance barriers could propel BTC's price towards retesting the next weekly resistance at $71,280.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently in the oversold territory on the daily chart, while the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is below its mean level. For bulls to stage a convincing comeback, both momentum indicators must sustain positions above their respective thresholds of 50 for RSI and zero for AO. Still, the RSI is about to exit the oversold level after briefly dipping into it, a sign to cover shorts and open longs. This scenario could bolster the ongoing recovery rally.

However, if BTC closes below the $58,375 level and forms a lower low on the daily time frame, it could indicate that bearish sentiment persists. Such a development may trigger a 3% decline in Bitcoin’s price, revisiting its previous low of $56,552 from May 1.
