The retail BTC market is largely on the sidelines as the 7-day daily moving average for spot volumes has dropped from $29 billion to $11 billion, or 62%, in four months.

Although this particular support level was previously tested during its correction on July 25, there is also a potential liquidation event of around $1 billion (Binance).

Captain Faibik, a popular crypto analyst, also emphasized that while Bitcoin is currently consolidating at support, the next area to watch will be around $60,000 . He noted on X, Daily MA128 (65.2K) is now acting as Key Support. Bulls need to defend it, otherwise, Bitcoin might revisit the 60k Support area.
