Bitcoin (BTC) has remained in a tight range between $29,000 and $30,000 for the past few days as price volatility has eased. However, the technical setup points to a possible upside move in the near future.
At press time, the major cryptocurrency is trading at $29,791, down 0.1% over the past 24 hours. With a daily trading volume of $9.67 billion, Bitcoin has a market cap of $571.4 billion, cementing its top spot in the CoinMarketCap ranking.
However, Bitcoin’s market dominance will be tested as it remains at around 48.75%, a level it has held over the past month.
Bitcoin bulls need to reclaim $30,000 to secure upside potential
BTC price is a new battleground as buyers and sellers battle for control above $29,300. A bitcoin analyst on X (formerly Twitter) observed that this horizontal price action fell below a critical support level that BTC needs to reclaim.

It is quite clear that the $29.5k to $29.7k area is an area that will be heavily contested by bulls and bears.

This is the peak of the price’s swing around the current level, so the group should keep an eye on the midpoint next. The sideways movement in price has continued since mid-June, with the pioneer cryptocurrency trading between the $28,500 support level and the $31,800 resistance level.
As seen on the daily chart below, price volatility has decreased as BTC approaches a breakout. This is evidenced by the Bollinger Bands (BB) narrowing as the price consolidates above the BB mid-line at $29,593. Note that the closer the Bollinger Bands move toward each other, the greater the possibility of a breakout in either direction.
The flattening SMAs also support the decreasing price volatility. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) position at 50 also indicated that buying and selling pressures were balancing.
Given the neutral market conditions, it remains unclear which direction Bitcoin price will take.

However, traders looking to buy Bitcoin may want to wait for the price to break through and sustain above $30,000. Note that this is a fundamental level as it is encompassed by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band and the descending trendline.
Such a move would mean that the ongoing downtrend is over and Bitcoin price will not only rally to $32,000 but towards $40,000. This would represent a 34% increase from the current price.
This positive outlook was supported by insights from an X user, Captain Faibik, who said BTC’s uptrend will continue. He published a chart showing bitcoin price breaking out of a falling wedge and setting the upside target at $33,000.
$BTC’s uptrend continues with a breakout of a falling wedge and a sustained retest.
A successful retest could result in an uptrend towards 33,000.

Longer-term, crypto trader and analyst Rekt Capital is bullish on Bitcoin, saying the digital asset is in a “macroup trend” that will “eventually take BTC to new all-time highs.”
Let’s not forget that #BTC is in a new macro uptrend
Yes, there will still be corrections

On the upside, a daily candlestick that closes below the lower BB band will confirm downside movement, with the 100-day SMA at $28,663 as the first line of defense. Other key levels to watch include the 200-day SMA at $27,226 and the psychological $26,000 level.
