Assessing Bitcoin’s October fortunes after a bearish September

BTC has managed to stay close to its psychological resistance level.
Indicators showed the potential for a price breakout. 

Historically, September has been a turbulent month for Bitcoin [BTC], often marked by significant negative trends.

Despite this, the king coin has maintained a relatively stable price, staying close to its current psychological resistance level. We may see a more positive movement in October if this trend holds.

Bitcoin faces consecutive declines 

Over the past three days, Bitcoin has experienced consecutive declines, trading at around $58,650 at press time.

This downward trend began on the 14th of September, following Bitcoin’s surge above its psychological barrier during the previous trading session. BTC rose over 4% in that session, reaching approximately $60,543.

This uptrend briefly pushed BTC into a bullish phase, with its Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbing to around 50. However, the RSI rested on the neutral line at press time, signaling a weakening in the bull trend.

Bitcoin: October rally ahead?

Moving into October, Bitcoin’s price was hovering near key technical levels. The yellow line represented the 50-day moving average, at $59,495.25, while the blue line marked the 200-day moving average at $63,997.09.

Bitcoin was trading near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, around $58,104.92, indicating potential resistance. On the downside, the $55,000 level emerged as the next significant support, based on Fibonacci extensions.

Suppose BTC can break above the 50-day moving average around $59,500 and maintain momentum. In that case, it may reach the 200-day moving average at $63,997, an important resistance level.

Positive indicators from the MACD and a neutral Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggested a possible upward movement in October, especially if bulls regain control.

A surge to the $63,000 range could trigger FOMO (fear of missing out), potentially driving BTC to retest its all-time high.

Supply on exchanges shows a slight uptrend

Recent analysis on Santiment indicated a slight uptrend in the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges. Despite this increase, trading volume has remained relatively stable, staying within the same threshold.

At the time of writing, the total BTC supply on exchanges was approximately 1.8 million.

Given the recent market declines, this uptrend in supply could signal a higher probability of significant upward movement in October, as Bitcoin may be poised for a potential rally.
