Bitcoin (BTC) faces a “more profound pullback” after weekend BTC price weakness cost longs $200 million.

In his latest market analysis on X, popular trader Titan of Crypto joined those warning of a deeper correction on BTC/USD.

Daily timeframe BTC price battle ragesBitcoin continues to struggle after rejecting near all-time highs of $73,800 earlier this week.

Market nerves over the upcoming United States Presidential Election have compounded an already overheated Bitcoin trading environment where open interest hit record highs.

Now, observers see the risk of further BTC price retracement before its uptrend resumes.

“Local Bottom at $66,200 Before a Bounce?” Titan of Crypto queried.

An accompanying chart showed Ichimoku cloud data for 1-day timeframes, with price deviating below one of the indicator’s key trend lines, Tenkan-sen.

“BTC couldn't close above Tenkan, signaling a possible more profound pullback,” he continued.

Previously, Titan of Crypto named $71,300 as an important resistance level to flip to support while examining Ichimoku on monthly timeframes.

Popular trader Credible Crypto called the area between $65,000 and $69,000 a “must bounce zone,” reiterating that the week's trip to near all-time highs may remain an upside deviation.

“For now, let's see if we can get this bounce and then we can take it from there,” he concluded on Nov. 3 while warning of a “larger correction.”

Others had more faith in a market reversal.

“Bitcoin has Pullback onto Fibonacci 0.618 level, which is a common support for a healthy pullback,” fellow trader Alan Tardigrade noted.

Trading sources concurred about the risk of heightened volatility during election week, which also plays host to the Federal Reserve’s next decision on interest rates.

“Despite Bitcoin’s dip below $69,000 on Friday, we continue to see significant interest in the market, with OI for both total BTC futures and BTC options staying heightened at $40.65b and $25.3b respectively (an increase of +24.20% and +36.76% compared to the start of Oct),” trading firm QCP Capital reported in part of its latest bulletin to Telegram channel subscribers.
