Data from <a href="https://subscription.cointelegraph.com/?_gl=1*7499wx*_ga*MTQ0MzQ0NzI4Ny4xNzE2MzY1NTA0*_ga_53R24TEEB1*MTcxNjM2NTUwNC4xLjEuMTcxNjM2Njg2MC4wLjAuMA..">Cointelegraph Markets Pro</a> and <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BINANCE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TradingView</a> showed Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>)&nbsp;price action cementing a range roughly 8% above the week’s $53,500 lows.
These had come after the July 5 daily close and represented the lowest levels for BTC/USD <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-ichimoku-cloud-btc-price-bounces-4-month-low">since late February</a>.
Despite “out of hours” weekend trading, however, Bitcoin bulls managed to recover some lost ground, leaving the lows as an outlier at the time of writing.
“Tremendous deviation to the downside in recent days,” popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1809665030318657984" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">summarized</a> in one of his latest analysis posts on X (formerly Twitter).
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “But now that Bitcoin has most recently Daily Closed above the $56750 to protect this level as support... Bitcoin is showing positive signs to continuing the clustering around the Range Low area.”

BTC/USD ultimately just missed out on a pivotal price point at its most recent daily close, which came in at $58,250 versus the desired $58,450 — an achievement that Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1809733291546959886" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">argued</a> “would fuel upside to ~$60600.”

Trader, analyst and podcast host Scott Melker, known as the “Wolf Of All Streets,” even suggested that the strength of the latest daily close could have implications for a longer-term BTC price floor.
“This is exactly what we are looking for. If we get a strong close today, then odds are the bottom of this correction is in,” part of his latest X&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/scottmelker/status/1809643484451676660" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a> read.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “If we close with a clear elbow up on RSI we are looking great. And RSI oversold again.”
