After an impressive start to the third quarter, the price of Bitcoin has struggled to replicate its bullish form from July in the last two months. With less than two weeks to go, the flagship cryptocurrency has shown signs of mounting any real, sustained run to new highs.
This evaluation revolves around the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) band, which represents the average price of an asset (Bitcoin, in this scenario) weighted by its trading volume. The metric plots two upper and lower bands, which act as dynamic support and resistance levels for the asset’s price.
According to Adler Jr., the 14-day VWAP band is currently absorbing the selling pressure faced by the price of Bitcoin. This band lies around the $114,500, making the price level a significant support cushion for the market leader.
Adler Jr. also highlighted the futures Pressure Index, which has dropped to 32.5 around quarterly extremes of bearish pressure. The Bitcoin spot market, though, continues to show good resilience, the on-chain analyst noted.
As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just below $116,000, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours.
