Bitcoin price has been unable to continue its upward momentum, since falling below the $100,000 resistance level. This has created a lot of uncertainty about future price action.

The daily chart
On the daily chart, the price has consolidated below $100,000, after briefly breaking higher a couple of weeks ago and making a new all-time high. A few days ago, the market failed to break the $100,000 level and was rejected to the downside.
As a result, the $90,000 support level is likely the short-term target. The reaction to this area will determine the short-term price action for BTC.

The 4-hour period demonstrates a clearer picture of sideways price action. The market was initially making higher highs and higher lows within an ascending channel.
However, it has since broken the bearish pattern and retested it twice. With the RSI also showing values below 50%, indicating bearish momentum, the market is likely to drop towards the $90,000 level before a possible bullish continuation.

Open interest
Bitcoin futures market sentiment has been providing valuable insight over the past few years, helping analysts predict potential near-term volatility. This chart presents the open interest metric, which measures the total number of open perpetual futures contracts on derivatives exchanges.
As the chart shows, open interest values have been at all-time highs, even as the market has broken below the $100,000 level and stopped trending. This may indicate potential short-term volatility, caused by liquidation cascades. As a result, investors should be careful when investing in Bitcoin at this time.
