The 4-Hour Chart

The 4-hour timeframe provides more clues on the potential short-term price action of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency has recovered above the $40K level and is en route to retesting the broken trendline (the lower boundary of the broken ascending channel).

If the price fails to break above, it would be a potential turning point that would drive the price even lower, potentially toward the $38K support level, in the coming weeks.

Funding Rates

During the final weeks of the recent uptrend, the market participants had become extremely positive that BTC was soon going to reach a new all-time high. This euphoric sentiment may have been one of the culprits for the drop in the last couple of weeks.

This chart demonstrates the Bitcoin funding rates, one of the valuable measures for future market sentiment evaluation. The metric indicates whether the buyers or the sellers are executing their orders more aggressively on aggregate. Positive values indicate optimistic market sentiment, while values below zero are associated with pessimism.

As the chart suggests, the funding rates have reached extremely high values during the recent high. These values were similar to those observed during the $69K all-time high range. As a result, a deep correction or even a bearish reversal could have been expected as things were unraveling the same.
