Bitcoin faces drop to $60K – Will the $64k support halt the sellers?
Based on the liquidation heatmap and the OBV, a price dip toward $60k was possible.
Bitcoin [BTC] has a comfortably bullish outlook, going by social media posts.
The rapid surge beyond the $64k resistance level that opposed the bulls in October was breached on the 14th of October, and the channel highs were retested.
The record-breaking Bitcoin spot ETF inflows likely aided this 5.1% price move.
However, the ETF share is only a fraction of the total trading volume.
Should investors brace for a breakout or another rejection?
Channel highs vs. range breakout
BTC has traded within a short-term range in October that extended from $60.2k to $64.1k.
The daily trading session on Monday beat the resistance with ease, but faced opposition at the $66.5k mark.
This coincided with the descending channel’s highs, as well as with the local highs from the 27th of September.
A session close above $66.5k would be a sign of firm bullish conviction.
The OBV was unable to clear the local highs, and was a noticeable distance lower, while the price was at the same resistance at $66.5k.
This was a sign that buying volume in recent weeks was not as high as the sessions where BTC noted losses.
Potential short squeeze imminent
The 1-month lookback period showed a concentration of liquidation levels at $66.6k to $67.4k.
The proximity of this liquidity pool could attract prices higher before a reversal toward $60k.

It is unclear whether Bitcoin is ready for the bull run expected in Q4 2024, or whether more consolidation is ahead.
Based on the liquidation heatmap and the OBV, a rejection appeared likely.
A bullish reaction could follow at the former range highs at $64k and could present a buying opportunity, but swing traders should be prepared for a deeper dip and manage their risk accordingly.
