Sellers appeared to have lost steam as the selling pressure waned after BTC broke below the $26.5k support level. A mixture of bullish and bearish candles on the 12-hour timeframe raised the notion of a bullish comeback for Bitcoin.
A look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) suggested that a price rebound could happen soon. Although the RSI remained in the oversold zone, it pushed up from 9 to 19 to hint at recovery efforts by the bulls.
Therefore, a climb out of the oversold zone could significantly accelerate BTC’s rebound. Likewise, the CMF moved from -0.21 to -0.11 signaling a slow recovery of capital inflows.
If bulls are able to take back the $29.5k level along with the positive indicators, buyers can make a push for $27k to $27.5k. On the flip side, sellers could be waiting in the wings for one more significant shorting opportunity to the $25.3k support before any substantial price reversal.

With the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) standing at -8.58%, it meant long-term holders were still holding onto unrealized losses.
Together with the rising mean coin age, long-term holders could be buying at lower prices with the goal of making a marginal profit in the event of a price rebound.
