Bitcoin [BTC] has traded between the $22k and the $19k levels for the better part of the past month. Deviations below $19k and above $22k were bought or sold within a couple of days of a move past these levels.

Yet, the formation of a range does not indicate a phase of accumulation. Indeed, back in May, after a sharp drop to $27k, the price appeared to consolidate about the $30k mark. Two weeks into June, the hopes of the bulls were brutally smashed as Bitcoin nosedived to $20.5k and $17.8k support.

Even though long-term investors might be wary of buying Bitcoin, shorter timeframe traders certainly have plenty of opportunities. However, volatility could ruin certain bullish or bearish setups. The Visible Range Volume Profile showed the Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL) to be at $22k and $19.3k.

This meant that a retest of either level would be a good place to sell or buy the asset, respectively. The Point of Control (PoC) represented the level where the most amount of trading, by volume, occurred. It stood at $21.6k.

Moreover, the $20.2k-$20.8k was a zone of supply for Bitcoin on shorter timeframes.

At press time, the RSI pushed back above the neutral 50 mark. Similarly, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) also climbed above the zero line to show upward momentum was
