“Bullish divergences on the daily confirmed,” popular trader Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1810766372684898450" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> in part of a post on X on July 9.

Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital subsequently <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1810944807616798810" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a> that the RSI divergence was “playing out.” 
Daan Crypto Trades flagged $59,000 as the “main price level” to reclaim, while others leaned toward $58,400 in the race to tackle resistance in the $60,000 vicinity.
“If $BTC can reclaim $58,400, a $60,000-$60,700 retest is likely,” trader Justin Bennett <a href="https://x.com/JustinBennettFX/status/1810769416327712781/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">predicted</a>. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “What happens between $60k and $58,400 will determine whether Bitcoin sees $67k or $48k next.”

Bennett stressed that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-price-risks-double-top-5-things-bitcoin-this-week">upcoming United States macroeconomic data prints</a> in the form of the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index would be crunch events for Bitcoin market performance.

The latest data from monitoring resource <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/pro/futures/LiquidationHeatMap" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">CoinGlass</a> meanwhile showed thin liquidity at that key level but building at the time of writing, with the majority cleared during the day’s push higher.
