The analysis shows that Bitcoin remains in a “bullish market structure” after once again retesting the $60,000 support.

BTC price support faces a “different narrative”
Rekt Capital said Bitcoin is no stranger to $60,000 as a fundamental psychological level and there is no reason to be cool about returning to test it above.
BTC/USD has fallen about 6% over the past three days and previously hit a two-month high above $66,000, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.

XPost said, “BTC has revisited the low $60,000 range numerous times over the past few months.”
“But people are equally afraid of a downturn, each time for different reasons. Same price. Another story. “In an optimistic market structure, there is never a loss.”
Rekt Capital is not alone in this belief. Fellow trader Jelle said BTC/USD is still experiencing a more substantial resistance/support (R/S) reversal.
“There’s a bit of chaos at the start of the quarter and everyone is in PTSD mode,” he told
“Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s market structure is looking strong again and we are seeing major S/Rs shift back to support. “Don’t be shaken.”

Previously, Cointelegraph reported on various bearish BTC price predictions, with a decline expected to result in a drop of up to 10% or more below $60,000.
Entrepreneur and cryptocurrency enthusiast Mark Cullen joined this camp on October 3, advising traders to prepare for a possible decline to around $57,000.

Bitcoin Short Holder Indicator Reaches “Stack” Zone
Meanwhile, Checkmate, the anonymous creator of data resource Checkonchain, has been analyzing on-chain data, looking at recent price performance through the lens of profit-taking by Bitcoin speculators.

This was done using the Short Holder Consumption Output Profit Ratio (STH-SOPR) indicator, which analyzes the proportion of money earned by speculators as they move on-chain. These entities are entities that hold the funds involved for up to 155 days.
STH-SOPR has fallen below the median of 1.0, perhaps setting up a viable “buy the dip” opportunity.
“If Bitcoin STH-SOPR is high… don’t buy, it means people are taking profits and applying the sell side,” Checkmate said.
“Conversely, in a bull market, a drop back to 1.0, or preferably a short sharp undercut, is the opportunity to build up the cheapest SAT.”
