- The H4 swing structure of Bitcoin was bearish
- A move below the local support level could be followed by a rebound toward $99k
Bitcoin [BTC] saw reduced trading volume and volatility over the past ten days following the retest of $92k in early February. This lack of momentum and trend can confound swing traders.
Technical analysis showed that a strong move might not materialize this week, but it does present some trading opportunities.

The low trading volume over the past few days means the OBV has barely moved recently. The recent downward price movement was also supported by weak volume, suggesting it might halt at $95k-$95.5k.

The short-term bearish momentum could take the BTC price to $94k before rebounding to the next magnetic zone at $99k.

The 24-hour chart supported this idea too. The price is more likely to visit the $95.2k level, which is the closest area of significant liquidation levels, rather than the $97.8k level.
This minor dip lower could pave the way for a move to $94k and a rebound, and would be the expectation for Bitcoin’s price movement this week.
