The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, the price has been supported by the $56K support level after breaking below the 200-day moving average, located around the $58K mark.
Yet, the market is once again testing the 200-day moving average from below. If it is successful in rising above it, the $60K resistance level will be the next key zone to penetrate.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder SOPR
With Bitcoin’s price going through a correction, analyzing the behavior of investors, especially those who have recently entered the market, can yield beneficial insight. The Short-Term Holder SOPR metric would be a handy tool to achieve this end.
It measures the ratio of profits realized by investors holding their coins for less than six months. Values above 1 indicate profit realization, while readings lower than one show losses being realized on aggregate.
As the chart demonstrates, the 30-day exponential moving average of STH-SOPR has dropped below one and continues to decline. This shows capitulation by short-term holders, which could be one of the initial signs pointing to the end of the correction phase.
