The 1-hour BTC/USD chart highlights a distinct intraday pullback followed by a sharp V-shaped recovery, with price action reclaiming the $103,800 range.

Bitcoin (BTC) price today is $103,581, with a 24-hour trading volume of $35.91 billion. BTC trades in the range of $101,109 to $104,293 in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin is pivoting from a 1-hour uptrend to a broader 4-hour consolidation with a subsequent pullback. The 1-hour chart shows an immediate pullback from the high and a sharp V-shaped recovery.

The cryptocurrency is seen trading above the $103,800 level after finding support at $103,000. A breakout above the $104,500 to $105,000 resistance could propel BTC toward the $106,000 to $107,000 zone. However, the low volume on the recovery signals that traders are still cautious.

Those who prefer to enter on dips can consider an entry point around $103,000 for quick scalps, while more aggressive buyers may wait for a deeper dip to $102,500.

The 4-hour chart highlights a broader shift from uptrend to consolidation, with a subsequent pullback from the high. A localized bottom is recognized at $100,764, and a gradual recovery is underway. However, the low volume during this bounce highlights weak conviction from buyers, casting doubt on the sustainability of the advance.

As the price attempts to confirm itself in the $102,500 to $103,000 range, traders can anticipate a crucial decision point. A breakout above the $105,000 resistance, backed by sufficient volume, would be required to ignite the next leg of the uptrend.

The daily chart shows a pretty strong uptrend, but there are signs of momentum exhaustion. BTC price hit a high of $105,706 today, which could be forming a double top or a temporary ceiling.

The red candles with diminishing body size and a slight dip in volume during the rally above $100,000 indicate that seller pressure is increasing. This suggests that buyers are getting tired and sellers are becoming more active.

A retracement into the $98,000 to $100,000 zone could present a favorable buy-the-dip scenario, especially if it creates bullish candlestick patterns like a bullish engulfing pattern.

A breakout above the $105,000 to $106,000 resistance is needed to continue the advances from the current levels. Otherwise, any attempts to rise further could be met with resistance.

Relative strength index (RSI) at 71 and Stochastic at 85 on the 1-day chart are in the neutral zone, while the commodity channel index (CCI) at 109 shows a sell signal.

Momentum at 7,970 and the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) at 4,093 are both still in the buy zone, indicating underlying strength in the trend despite the near-term volatility. The average directional index (ADX) at 36 and the awesome oscillator at 11,033 show a neutral to slightly bullish technical bias.

The 10-period exponential moving average (EMA) at 101,151 and simple moving average (SMA) at 100,482 are in the buy zone, as is the 200-period EMA at 87,512 and SMA at 91,783. This alignment of all major moving averages on the 1-day chart over the short to long term adds weight to the bullish outlook. However, it also increases the likelihood of price pullbacks within the trend-support zones in the short term.
