Bitcoin (BTC) started the week recovering 6% from Fridayโs drop and attempting to reclaim a crucial area that could set the stage for a trend continuation. However, some analysts have advised caution as BTCโs next leg up could be delayed until December.

Bitcoin To Move Sideways Until December?
After the end-of-week market downturn, Bitcoin has bounced to the $110,000 level and is attempting to turn this area into support again. Notably, the flagship crypto has been trading within the $108,000-$120,000 price range since July.
Last week, BTC recorded its second drop below the range lows, falling to the $103,500 mark on Friday. Over the weekend, the cryptocurrencyโs price stabilized and reclaimed the $106,000-$108,000 area.
Now, Bitcoin has recovered 6.2% from the recent lows and could potentially target higher levels in the short term. Analyst Crypto Kaleo pointed out that BTCโs multi-year ascending trendline has held as support despite the recent retest and overall sentiment turning bearish, suggesting that investors should โbe more bullish.โ
Similarly, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted that despite the current market sentiment, which shows the Fear and Greed index remains at fear levels, the flagship crypto is โstill perfectly holding that flipped resistance level,โ around $108,000, and is holding it as support.
โNot sure if this is the place to turn bearish. Support is support, until it is not,โ the analyst affirmed. Altcoin Sherpa also shared a positive outlook, emphasizing that BTCโs chart doesnโt look โthat bad when you zoom out,โ as it remains in the same multi-month price range and could challenge the $114,000-$115,000 area.
Nonetheless, the analyst cautioned that it may be โtoo early to really call any sort of bullish reversal,โ forecasting that the cryptocurrency will likely see โa ton of chop over the next 6-8 weeks, and we range between 100k-115k and hopefully have a nice December.โ
$114,000-$116,000 Area Remains Key
Rekt Capital stated that as long as the price holds the current levels, it could move to the $114,000 area for a key trend continuation across its range and potentially revisit the highs.
To achieve this, the analyst explained that Bitcoin must reclaim its 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as support, which was lost after Sundayโs close below the $110,000 mark. The 21-week EMA has served as support during pullbacks since late Q2.
He explained that the cycle has been one of downside deviations, with price weekly closing below key levels and positioning for a bearish retest before successfully reclaiming these levels as support and rallying higher. Based on this, โitโs not a given that price will reject from the 21-week EMA.โ
The analyst also shared an outlook for BTCโs range in the monthly timeframe, where it has been consolidating while upside wicking beyond the range high and downside wicking below the range low since July.

โAs part of this consolidation, there is a potential Lower High developing which isnโt yet solidified; the upcoming Monthly Close will inform more about whether that indeed will become a resistance,โ he detailed
Rekt Capital concluded that a monthly close above the Lower High would invalidate the potential setup, and a close above the range high resistance would position Bitcoin for a range breakout, โespecially if a November post-breakout retest of $116k into new support takes place.โ
As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $110,850, a 2% increase in the daily timeframe.
