After briefly rising above $63,000 in recent days, renewing investor’s hope on “uptober,” Bitcoin has once again dampened this excitement by decreasing to as low as the $60,000 region today.<\/p>\n

This unappealing performance has led to a CryptoQuant analyst, Aytekin, raising and sharing insight on an important question: “Is it reasonable to expect a final shakeout before the next big move?”<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Next Move: Major Correction Looming?<\/h2>\n

In a recent post<\/a> on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, the analyst explained that Bitcoin is currently in a high open interest zone, having exceeded the critical $18 billion level. Historically, when open interest levels reached this point, major corrections followed.<\/p>\n

The analyst mentioned that the current market sentiment appears divided, noting:<\/p>\n

\n

The market seems indecisive in many aspects, with some believing that the next big upside move is on the horizon, while others think BTC’s downward trend remains strong. A common belief is that BTC may need a final shakeout before surging to a new all-time high (ATH).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aytekin added that funding rates, though slightly above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), suggest that long traders are still dominant. However, significant price corrections in the past often occurred when funding rates turned negative, which hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n

Aytekin concluded that, while a final shakeout might occur, the depth of the correction may not be as severe given the relatively moderate funding rates.<\/p>\n

BTC Price Outlook<\/h2>\n

As Bitcoin has struggled to break through key resistance levels, its recent price action reflects ongoing market indecision. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin maintained stability above the $60,000 mark, but failed to make a major move to reclaim $70,000.<\/p>\n

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has slipped by 2.9%, currently trading at $60,485. This decline follows the asset\u2019s brief surge to $63,774 earlier in the week, which sparked optimism for a possible move toward the $65,000 and then $70,000 mark.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

Prominent crypto analyst Ali recently commented on Bitcoin\u2019s price action, noting that Bitcoin is still trading within a “descending parallel channel.”<\/p>\n

According to Ali, the asset was rejected at the upper boundary of this channel, signalling the potential for further downside. “We might see a drop to the middle boundary at $58,000 or even the lower boundary at $52,000,” Ali noted in a post on X.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that a bullish breakout is unlikely unless Bitcoin clears the $66,000 level, a price point that has acted as a significant resistance point in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

#Bitcoin<\/a> remains stuck in a descending parallel channel.<\/p>\n

After the recent rejection at the upper boundary, we might see a drop to the middle boundary at $58,000 or even the lower boundary at $52,000. A bullish breakout won’t happen until $BTC<\/a> clears $66,000! pic.twitter.com\/yFvS6jxmKB<\/a><\/p>\n
