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 BTC price strength staging a tentative recovery after the Wall Street open.
Bulls had suffered the day prior, as a trip to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-whale-games-btc-price-below-60k">seven-week lows of $58,500</a> sparked a cascade of capitulations.
Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) reading on four-hour timeframes hit its lowest levels since August 2023 — the last time BTC/USD gave up bull market support lines such as the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-short-term-holder-crypto-quant-analysts">short-term holder aggregate cost basis</a>.
“Range held where it needed to,” popular trader Daan Crypto Trades confirmed in one of his <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1805496648782717150" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">latest updates</a> on X. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Yesterday was the largest net selling day in Bitcoin in over a year. RSI levels also hit levels not seen in a year.”

“Massive liquidity zone at $65K and all the way up to that point,” Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1805542199519510704" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">continued</a>. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “I think that would be a good level in the short term to target and see how the market looks by then. Invalidation is losing the range low at ~59K.”

Talk of the psychological — if not physical — impact of the Mt. Gox bankruptcy proceedings continued to circulate.
“We think there will continue to be selling pressure in the market as markets try to digest what 140,000 BTC means for markets and prices that in,” trading firm QCP Capital wrote on the topic in part of its latest update to Telegram channel subscribers.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Existing Mt Gox creditors are probably unhedged given how expensive it is to hold perp positions and option positions for long periods of time.”

QCP noted that BTC’s price had bounced near its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), currently at almost exactly $58,000. The last time BTC/USD traded below that trendline was in October.

Fellow trader Skew nonetheless warned of ongoing strength for the United States dollar — traditionally a headwind for risk assets and crypto — and suggested that this would continue in the short term.

Applying Elliott Wave theory to the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), however, Matthew Dixon, CEO of crypto rating platform Evai, argued that the picture was conversely bearish for dollar bulls.
“A valid 5 waves down for DXY is a very promising sign for BTC &amp; Crypto,” he <a href="https://x.com/mdtrade/status/1805480571927158840/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">commented</a> on the 15-minute chart. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “If we now get a three wave retracement, ideally to around the 0.618 Fib then we would expect a further 5 waves down as a minimum, which would give risk assets a further boost.”
