On the 12-hour chart, the market structure was still bullish. A drop below $60.7k will turn the structure bearish. The Fibonacci retracement levels highlighted the $55.5k and $59.4k as critical levels.
There was a decline of 4.2% in the past 36 hours. As of April 2, there was $62.2 million in value long liquidations on Bitcoin. The second-half RSI fell below neutral 50, signaling a shift in momentum.
The OBV showed a downward trend in March and was still below a key level. This showed that selling pressure has been dominant in recent weeks and that more losses could follow.
The $64.5k level is an interesting level this week as it is a short-term support level. Still, technical indicators and the price action in the lower time frame showed that Bitcoin may not rise sharply in the near future.

Prices could move higher to liquidate the highly leveraged late bears, but a significant amount of liquidity was at $64,000.
From $62.8k to $64k there was a fair concentration of liquidation levels. Bitcoin’s proximity to this region indicated that it could conquer this zone next. Therefore, traders should be prepared for more losses.
