Bitcoin analysts are eying a breakout point in the coming weeks, but market sentiment and historical data threaten more potential downside in September.
<h2 id="bitcoin-nears-breakout-point-analyst">Bitcoin nears breakout point: analyst</h2>
Bitcoin’s (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) price could be setting up for a rally, based on a bullish divergence forming on the daily chart, according to crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto.

A bullish divergence is a technical formation used by traders to identify strengthening market momentum following lower lows. The indicator is associated with price reversals from downtrends.
Bitcoin also retested a key support level, which could result in a price breakout to above $92,000, according to popular analyst Titan of Crypto, who <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/Washigorira/status/1834535703318856172/photo/1" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">wrote</a> in a Sept. 13 X post:
<blockquote>
 “In previous cycles, when the price retested the 50-week simple moving average, it bounced at least 40%. On average, the bounce was 71%. If BTC rallies 71% from here, it could reach $92,000.”

<h2 id="anxiety-stage-before-btc-price-breakout">“Anxiety stage” before BTC price breakout? </h2>
Bitcoin has entered the “anxiety stage,” based on the net unrealized profit-to-loss ratio, according to CryptoQuant contributing analyst Axel Adler. In other words, many short-term investors are underwater, which could mark a potential bottom, as highlighted in the chart below. 
The analyst <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/AxelAdlerJr/status/1834559111146389534" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">wrote</a> in a Sept. 13 X post:
<blockquote>
 “After the Belief stage at $72K, Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) shows a green bar, which corresponds to the Anxiety stage. Investor anxiety, if you're not an LTH, is a permanent process, the best remedy for this is HODL.”
