Bitcoin price is at a fork in the road

Bitcoin price has shown an applaudable price performance in the last few weeks. The peer-to-peer digital currency has propelled towards a weekly high at $ 24,921 since witnessing a low at 17,592 just two months earlier in July. Despite the 40% rally, the trajectory has not been a smooth sailing ship. Several technical indicators and onchain analysis tools confound the idea of a weakening trend.

Bitcoin price currently auctions at $24,238. A profit-taking consolidation unfolds near last week’s forecasted target of $24,600. The Relative Strength Index shows classic bearish divergence, while the volume profile indicator shows a lack of interest from large capital players.

Bitcoin price could still rally higher towards $26,800, but early evidence of the downtrend scenario will be a daily close below $23,149. If the bears can produce said price action, they may be able to induce a sellers’ frenzy targeting $18,500, resulting in up to a 20% decline from the current Bitcoin price.
