On the hourly chart, Bitcoin (BTC) could not come back to the zone of $39,000. However, the selling pressure is low, according to the decreasing trading volume. In this case, there are high chances of seeing a slight bounceback from the $36,800 mark.

On the bigger time frame, a minor correction is also the most likely scenario, as traders May have realized long-term accumulation in a narrow range. That is why there are high chances of seeing a test of the liquidity level around $37,000.

On the weekly chart, the candle has broken the resistance; however, it could not reach the vital $40,000 mark. The impulse was not accompanied by large trading volumes, which means that long-term traders are still accumulating power for a price blast.

To achieve that, they should keep the price above the mirror level at $36,600.

Bitcoin is trading at $38,837 at press time.
