Bitazu Capital founding partner Mohit Sorout pinpointed that the volume of Bitcoin (BTC) declined since May. While the price of the top cryptocurrency has dropped since, its volume suggests it is not entirely bearish.<\/a><\/p>\n Due to the second rejection of Bitcoin at $10,500 this year, traders have suggested the\u00a0possibility of a rounded top.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The declining trend of the volume remains as a variable that might potentially prevent a steep downtrend. It could suggest that the selling pressure on BTC has been lackluster.<\/p>\n The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering at $9,240 following an overnight rally of 3.8%, following a strong recovery from $8,900.<\/p>\n Several metrics, including the declining volume and increasing “HODLing” activity, indicate an optimistic trend for BTC.<\/p>\n But, some traders argue that market structure is just as important as fundamental metrics when evaluating Bitcoin’s trend.<\/p>\n On whether market structure trumps metrics, Sorout noted that he remains neutral on the market structure of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n The price of Bitcoin saw lower highs in June, which typically are seen as a bearish market pattern. Yet, in the last two months, Sorout emphasized that there were consistent higher lows.<\/p>\n There are technical patterns that support arguments for both an upsurge and a potential pullback.<\/a><\/p>\n He said<\/a>:<\/p>\n “[Market structure (MS)] is a big deal indeed, but all I see is price tightly compressed right now. I mean sure, lower highs in June haven’t really been an encouraging sign, but this 2-month range has seen consistent higher lows. So kind of 50:50 on the MS picture.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The price of Bitcoin dropped below a key support level at $9,000 a total of eight times since May. Yet, it has recovered with strength following each correction.<\/p>\n Some analysts consider the current market structure of Bitcoin to be bearish, given that an important support level has been worn out. Others foresee a neutral market structure with optimistic fundamental metrics to back it up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe price of Bitcoin shows a rounded top-like formation, but with declining volume.
