Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, the price has clearly been bullish over the past few weeks, making higher highs and lows. Yet, the rally has seemingly come to a halt, and the price is moving sideways above the $40K mark.
While the $40K level is holding firm, a deeper correction might occur, and the price could drop to $38K or even toward the 200-day moving average, located around the $32K mark.
However, as the market is yet to make a lower low and the relative strength index is indicating that the momentum is still bullish, BTC could still reach the critical $48K resistance level before beginning a significant correction.
The 4-Hour Chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, it becomes clear that the price has been forming a triangle pattern above the $40K mark. If the pattern gets broken to the downside, a drop toward the $38K level could be expected.
On the contrary, a bullish breakout would likely result in a surge toward the $48K level. The relative strength index has also recently risen above the 50% threshold, signaling that a bullish breakout might be more likely.
On-Chain Analysis

Bitcoin NUPL
Bitcoin’s price has been rapidly rising over the last couple of months, making investors hopeful that a new bull market is on the horizon. Analyzing the on-chain metrics can provide helpful insight into whether that is the case or not.
This chart demonstrates the net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL) metric, which measures the amount of unrealized profits or losses of all market participants. It is evident that following the recent surge in price, many investors are now holding their coins in profit.
This is a logical sign of a bull market. However, the metric has already entered the region previously seen on the last all-time high. This might lead to a profit realization by investors, and subsequently, the resulting supply can push the price back lower. Therefore, while Bitcoin might be on its way to making a new all-time high, this might not be a good time to enter the market as a correction may occur in the short term.

SoftBank Group reported a net loss of 1.12 trillion yen in its second fiscal quarter, marking its first quarterly loss in nearly two years.

Will the Federal Reserve raise rates in December? Tonight's CPI will be the final verdict!
The October CPI data will be released tonight, with the market pricing in an 86% chance of a rate hike. Goldman Sachs predicts a core CPI month-on-month increase of only 0.16%, much lower than market expectations. However, statistical distortions in health insurance and declines in used car prices—these "soft factors"—are unlikely to be reflected in the core PCE, which the Federal Reserve places greater emphasis on. The data may trigger a relief rally, but it is unlikely to change the underlying hawkish sentiment.
