<p>The price has been consolidating since it failed to break above the $30K resistance level. The 50-day moving average has been providing support but is currently getting broken to the downside around the $28K mark.</p>
<p>In the event of a valid bearish breakout, the $25K support level would be the next probable target, followed by the key 200-day moving average, which is trending around the $22K area. The RSI has also dropped below the 50% threshold recently, hinting at a potential decline in the short term as momentum is shifting bearish.</p>

<h3 id="the-4-hour-chart">The 4-Hour Chart</h3>
<p>On the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been bouncing in a tight range between the $30K and $28K levels and is testing the latter at the moment. If a breakdown were to occur, a rapid plunge toward the $25K zone could be expected in the near term.</p>
<p>Even so, the RSI is approaching the oversold area, increasing the probability for the price to rebound from the $28K level and push towards the $30K resistance once more. However, all things considered, the bearish scenario seems more likely from a classical price action point of view on both the daily and the 4-hour timeframes.</p>

<h2 id="onchain-analysis">Onchain Analysis</h2>
<p>By <a href="https://twitter.com/greatest_trader" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank">Shayan</a></p>
<p>Due to the rise in Bitcoin transactions on Sunday, the fees paid to miners increased significantly. This pattern is uncommon for bear markets but is frequent during bull market tops.</p>
<p>The growing use of the Taproot update, which allows for the inclusion of NFTs and the BRC-20 token on the Bitcoin blockchain, can be related to the increase in transaction fees.  While this may be a drawback for routine transactions, it is advantageous for mining earnings.</p>
<p>Furthermore, this shift has caused changes in other on-chain metrics, such as a significant increase in the number of active addresses and transactions. This could be seen as a positive sign, marking the beginning of a bull market.</p>
