Price subsequently recovered to roughly $75,859 at capture, while intraday volume picked up during both the selloff and ensuing bounce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_848134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-848134\" style=\"width:1996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-848134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTC\/USD 1-hour chart via Bitstamp on Sept. 16, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That puts $74,913 squarely in the spotlight as nearby support. Holding roughly $75,000 to $74,900 keeps the post-wick recovery intact, while a break and hold below $74,900 would establish the first clear lower low of the current 1-hour swing. On the flip side, a move back through roughly $77,000 would return bitcoin to the middle of September\u2019s 4-hour trading range.<\/p>\n<h2>Four-Hour Chart: The Late-Summer Sprint Has Turned Into a Grind<\/h2>\n<p>Zooming out to the 4-hour chart shows how quickly the tone changed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/price\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> climbed steeply from a labeled low near $62,470 into a high around $82,281 in early September, but the market has since chopped broadly between approximately $76,000 and $82,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_848135\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-848135\" style=\"width:1996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-848135 size-full\" title=\"Bitcoin Price Clings to $75K After a Nasty $74,913 Shakeout\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57.png\" alt=\"BTC\/USD 4-hour chart via Bitstamp on Sept. 16, 2026 screenshot. \" width=\"1996\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57-1536x791.png 1536w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/btcusd_2026-09-16_08-47-57.png 1996w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1996px) 100vw, 1996px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-848135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTC\/USD 4-hour chart via Bitstamp on Sept. 16, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The latest leg carried bitcoin from the upper $70,000s back into the mid-$75,000s, leaving the current print just below $76,000. Nearby resistance begins around the prior $76,000 to $77,000 bounce zone, with the heavier $79,800 to $82,300 cluster waiting beyond it.

Price is now below the September high and several shorter-term moving averages, yet it remains above the 50-, 100-, and 200-period exponential and simple moving averages. In other words, the shorter view has taken a hit without erasing the broader structure visible on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<h2>Oscillators: Momentum Flashes Red While Most Indicators Sit Neutral<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/understanding-oscillators-in-bitcoin-trading-a-technical-analysis-guide\/\">The daily chart\u2019s oscillators<\/a> are mostly sitting on the fence, with eight neutral readings against two negative signals and one positive signal. The relative strength index (RSI) stands at 47, Stochastic at 17, commodity channel index (CCI) at -171, average directional index (ADX) at 41, Awesome oscillator (AO) at 1,407, Stochastic RSI Fast at 8, Williams at -94, and Ultimate oscillator (UO) at 37, all rated neutral.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum (Momentum) reads -4,965, and the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) level is 960, with both rated negative, while the bull bear power (BBP) at -2,989 supplies the lone positive reading. The tally is mixed, but the two momentum-oriented negative readings keep the short-term picture from looking particularly comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving Averages: Short-Term Pressure Meets Long-Term Support<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/unveiling-moving-averages-essential-tools-for-bitcoin-trading\/\">The moving averages (MAs)<\/a> tell the clearest two-sided story. The 10-, 20-, and 30-period exponential moving averages (EMA) stand at $77,050, $76,820, and $75,703, respectively, while the corresponding simple moving averages (SMA) sit at $77,278, $78,046, and $77,262, with all six rated negative. By contrast, the 50-, 100- and 200-period EMA readings of $73,532, $71,345, and $73,080, and SMA readings of $71,883, $67,584 and $70,282 are all positive.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>The Ichimoku baseline (IBL) at $78,597 on Wednesday is neutral, while the volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) at $78,029 and Hull moving average (HMA) at $76,175 are negative. That leaves the moving-average scoreboard at eight negative, six positive, and one neutral, neatly capturing bitcoin\u2019s current tug-of-war between short-term weakness and longer-term support.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bull Verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s defense of the $74,913 wick keeps the bullish case alive, with longer-term moving averages still providing support beneath spot. A sustained push through $76,000-$77,000 would strengthen the recovery and put the $79,800-$82,300 resistance cluster back in play.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bear Verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s short-term structure remains vulnerable, with momentum and the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) both negative and shorter moving averages leaning bearish. A break and hold below $74,900 would establish a fresh 1-hour lower low, weakening the rebound and handing sellers back the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-clings-to-75k-after-a-nasty-74913-shakeout\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin\u2019s price held above its $74,913 wick low as buyers defended the $75,000 area.
