Technical outlook:

Bitcoin is trading close to the $45,000 handle after hitting resistance around $48,500 over the last week. The crypto seems to have retraced its recent drop between $53,000 and $43,000 close to a fibonacci level around $48,500 mark (not highlighted on the daily chart). Ideally, bears are looking poised to drag towards $37,000 levels before the price resumes higher again.

Bitcoin's overall structure remains bullish until prices stay above $28,500 daily chart support. A continued drop below $35,000-36,000 zone will open the door to test $28,500 mark again. On the flip side, if bulls manage to come back around $37,000 mark, the uptrend would remain intact towards $65,000 and higher.

Bitcoin would remain under pressure until $37,000 mark, which is close to initial support around $37,400, the August 04 low. Immediate resistance is seen around $53,000 mark and a break there will confirm a bottom in place.

Trading plan:

Profits might be realized @ 44,000-45,000 on shorts taken earlier. (48,000-48,500)

Good luck!
