  BTC price action is all about the 200-day moving average into the monthly close, with opinions on the outlook increasingly polarized.

 <p>A key moving average is buoying low-timeframe BTC <a rel="dofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> action, which continues to preserve $27,000, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows.</p>
 <p>Bitcoin may have retraced from its local highs above $28,000, but bears have not yet sparked a full retrace of the move.</p>
 <p>For some, this is increasingly positive news, as BTC/USD is now successfully holding a long-term <a rel="dofollow" title="trend" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trend.html">trend</a> line lost as support earlier in August.</p>
 <p>This comes in the form of the <a rel="dofollow" title="200-day" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/200-day.html">200-day</a> exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $27,180.</p>
 <p>Some hourly candles closing below into Aug. 31 were not enough to spark a more significant breakdown, and Bitcoin is tightly hugging the 200-day EMA into the August monthly close.</p>
 <p>“Bitcoin is back above the daily EMA 200-Line,” popular trader Moustache told X subscribers. </p>
 <blockquote>
  “A lot of people are waiting for a better entry, but I don't think it's going to happen.”
 </blockquote>

 <p>That perspective contrasts strongly with the slew of more bearish market takes from various well-known sources, many of which call for a return to $25,000 or lower.</p>
 <p>Still optimistic, however, is fellow trader Jelle, who likewise placed significance on Bitcoin holding above $27,000.</p>
 <p>“This is exactly what I want to see after an impulse. Spike up, shallow retrace, hold at key HTF level. Send it higher,” he summarized on Aug. 30.</p>
 <p>A subsequent update revealed plans for longs in preparation for BTC/USD “taking out” local highs.</p>

 <p>As Cointelegraph reported, BTC price action has yet to reclaim some other bull market moving averages from earlier in the month.</p>

 <p>Trader and analyst Rekt Capital, cautious in the current climate, noted overnight that some of these are now acting as resistance.</p>

 <p>Continuing on the day, monitoring resource Material Indicators likewise warned that Bitcoin could come full circle, and that a “resurgence in bullish sentiment” was required for a higher local high.</p>
 <p>Based on signals from its proprietary trading tools, Material Indicators flagged $27,760 and $24,750 as the upside and downside levels to watch, respectively.</p>
