“Technically, black has been strengthened as resistance for September.”

Rekt Capital acknowledged the October breakout, and that this would “negate the bearish impasse” if it persists.

“But given BTC’s monthly close below the black, there will always be a chance that this price action will end up as a bullish wick,” he continued.

“Bitcoin provided bullish wicks of up to +8% before long. Right now, BTC is up +4.5% this month. So technically, anything up to ~$29,400 (+8%) could… That theoretically ends as a bullish wick.

“The spot supply continues, while financing is negative. “This reeks of blasphemy,” famous trader Geely suggested as a result.

Fellow trader Skew noted that spot markets were leading the move after Wall Street opened, showing an “interesting disconnect” from derivatives.
