Bitcoin circled $63,000 on Sept. 24 as analysis argued that bears were “running out of time” to halt BTC price upside.

”Pinned” BTC price sets up bulls vs. bears battle
Data from
Cointelegraph Markets Pro
and
TradingView
showed flat conditions for Bitcoin (
BTC
) continuing after the week’s first Wall Street open.
While volatility was nowhere to be seen, traders suggested that it was only a matter of time before things changed.
“Expect shenanigans later,” trader Skew
summarized
in one of his recent X posts.
Skew referenced spot price being “pinned” between two blocks of liquidity, which are $62,000 to the downside and $65,000 to the upside, respectively.
Continuing, fellow trader Mayne took a longer-term perspective,
uploading
a weekly chart to X highlighting the series of lower highs and lower lows playing out since March’s trip to $73,800.
Only now, he suggested, could the trend be breaking down via a new higher low.
“Each of the last pumps we traded right up to the previous lower high then fully retraced. The main difference between this time and the last few attempts is we are coming off of a potential higher low,” he commented.

Skew, in turn, agreed, adding that it was vital for $62,000 to hold should bears temporarily take control.
“So far this is the expected area for bears to actually do something ($64K – $65K),” another post
explained
.

Data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant confirms that a rebound may now be in progress — a classic signal that a macro price bottom could be in.
As
Cointelegraph recently reported
, the Multiple’s return to its bottoming range had been keenly anticipated.
“Historically, when the green zone was reached, it was followed by an upward price movement,” CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost summarized in a
Quicktake blog post
on the topic on Sept. 23.
Darkfost described the green zone tag as a “strong long reversal signal.”
