Despite strong resistance, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in an oversold area and forming a bullish divergence, which signals a potential sign of recovery.
There is a high chance that BTC will reach the $60,500 level if it gives a daily candle closing above the $58,000 level.
According to an on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass, if BTC reaches the $60,500 level, nearly $2.4 billion of short position will be liquidated.
Meanwhile, the open interest (OI) of Bitcoin has surged by 1.4% in the last 24 hours as per CoinGlass data. This surge in OI signals slight investor and trader interest in Bitcoin.
