 Analyzing one-day timeframes, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital noted an encouraging bounce from the lower boundary of a descending BTC price channel.
“Great reaction so far, setting BTC up for a Daily Close above the Channel Bottom (black),” he <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1834618296190013683" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1834618296190013683">commented</a> alongside an explanatory chart on X.
<blockquote>
 “Daily Closes above the Channel Bottom have enabled upside in the past. For a bullish Weekly Close BTC would need to stay above $58150 until the end of the weekend.”
