Bitcoin faced stagnant prices on August 26 as traders analyzed the potential for a short-term price correction. Despite hovering below $64,000, the leading cryptocurrency struggled to gain momentum, reaching a low of $63,128 on Bitstamp.
Market commentators raised concerns about shifting order book liquidity on major exchanges favoring bearish trends. Some warned of a potential price dip to $62.5K, likely drawing the price downwards and attracting late short positions.
Analysts noted the lack of strong follow-through from Bitcoin, with concerns over a possible “Bart Simpson” pattern emerging, where prices could drop to previous levels quickly. However, some remained optimistic, suggesting that the market was showing more strength compared to similar situations in the past.
While traders expected positive momentum following recent macro developments in the US, such as potential interest rate hikes, the market remained subdued. Expectations for Bitcoin to trade in a range of $62,000 to $67,000 in the near future persisted.
