The rally at the end of September inflicted a bullish breakout and retested the range-high of $0.544 as a support. The range-high had a confluence with an invalidated H12 bearish OB of $0.5347 – $0.5496 (cyan).

Buyers exploited the confluence area as re-entry for profit-taking at the overhead target of $0.5709 – $0.5884 (red). If another price reversal occurs at the overhead roadblock, another buying opportunity could present itself at the range-high. 

If so, such a move could present a potential gain of +4% to buyers.  

But a drop below the range-high will invalidate the bullish bias, especially if BTC posts extra losses in the next few hours. 

However, price indicators were positive and didn’t signal such a massive drop was at hand at press time. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and On-Balance Volume (OBV) were positive. This indicated buying pressure and Spot market demand improved in the past few days.
