<h3 id="b-the-daily-chart-b"><b>The Daily Chart</b></h3>
<p>In the daily timeframe, the BTC price dropped below the key $64K mark and the 200-day moving average, which is located around the same price mark. Currently, the $60K support level remains intact, as investors remain hopeful that this decline is a temporary pullback.</p>
<p>However, with the RSI also showing values slightly below 50%, the momentum is shifting bearish, and a move lower toward $56K remains a possibility.</p>

<h3 id="b-the-4-hour-chart-b"><b>The 4-Hour Chart</b></h3>
<p>The 4-hour chart demonstrates a clear bearish shift in market structure in terms of classical price action. The market has decisively broken an important bullish trendline to the downside. Yet, the price bounced from the $60K level, as the RSI has also shown an oversold state in momentum.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a complete rebound is still less probable, as the market structure suggests a deeper correction toward the $57K level is more likely. This scenario would, of course, fail if the price somehow climbs back above the $64K level soon.</p>

<h3 id="b-bitcoin-open-interest-b"><b>Bitcoin Open Interest</b></h3>
<p>While Bitcoin’s price has been dropping over the past few days, future market sentiment metrics are still overheated.</p>
<p>This chart presents the BTC open interest, which shows the number of open perpetual futures positions, both bullish and bearish.</p>
<p>As the recent drop suggests, the minimal decline in open interest indicates that a long liquidation cascade has not occurred yet. A capitulation event would be highly probable in the event of a further price decline, which could lead to a rapid market crash and push the price even lower toward the $50K area.</p>
