Floating above the recently surfaced resistance support level at $83,308, BTC is preparing to take off. However, the bullish recovery faces opposition from the 200-day exponential moving average line acting as the dynamic resistance. 

With the bullish recovery, the Bitcoin price is struggling to avoid a death cross within the 50 and 200-day EMA lines. However, the recovery run is likely to continue to the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level near the 100-day EMA line. 

This crucial resistance is priced near $87,700. Supporting the bullish chances, the recent breakout run resulted in a positive crossover in the MACD and Signal lines.

In case of a bullish breakout, the BTC price trend will likely continue to the 50% Fibonacci level at $91,200.  On the flip side, the crucial support for Bitcoin remains at $83,300. 

Will High-Leveraged Long Positions Fuel BTC Recovery?

As the broader market conditions remain uncertain despite the recent breakout, the Bitcoin open interest drops by 1.69% to $56.94 billion. This reflects a minor decline in the trader’s interest in Bitcoin derivatives, while the funding rate remains positive.
