This area also aligns with a previous order block and is acting as major support.<\/p>\n<p>However, RSI remains under 40, reflecting a clear loss of bullish momentum, and unless the price rebounds quickly, this trendline could break, opening the door toward levels below the key $100K zone, which could lead to an overall bearish shift in market trend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1416828\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1358\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2.jpg 1358w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-1024x524.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-768x393.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-90x46.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-1200x614.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-1000x512.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-900x461.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-800x409.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-700x358.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-600x307.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-500x256.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-400x205.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-200x102.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Daily-2-100x51.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1358px) 100vw, 1358px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>Zooming in, it is evident that BTC has formed a minor base around $105K after the breakdown of $115K and $109K levels. The asset is struggling to reclaim the $108K-$109K zone that has now turned into resistance. Moreover, the RSI is slightly bouncing but still lacks strong momentum, hovering around 38.<\/p>\n<p>The overall structure still favors the bears in the short term unless a strong reclaim of $110K followed by higher lows materializes. Otherwise, sellers could push BTC into the $100K region or even lower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1416829\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1358\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6.jpg 1358w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-1024x524.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-768x393.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-90x46.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-1200x614.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-1000x512.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-900x461.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-800x409.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-700x358.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-600x307.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-500x256.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-400x205.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-200x102.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-4H-6-100x51.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1358px) 100vw, 1358px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3>Futures Average Order Size<\/h3>\n<p>Futures order size data shows a dramatic shift from whale activity toward smaller, retail-driven positions over the past few weeks. As the price began correcting in September, the number of large whale orders started to vanish, replaced almost entirely by smaller retail trades.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests that the smart money has stepped aside from leveraged positions, while retail traders continue to engage. This often occurs during trend exhaustion phases and the latter stages of bull markets, which is a very concerning development.<\/p>\n<p>It reinforces the idea that the recent dip is not driven by strong accumulation, which increases the risk of further downside unless new institutional demand steps in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1416830\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-90x51.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-2000x1125.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-Futures-Average-Order-Size-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-analysis-first-bearish-signs-appear-as-btc-falls-by-20k-from-ath\/\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: First Bearish Signs Appear as BTC Falls by $20K From ATH<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin has continued its corrective move this week, dropping from all-time highs and testing key trendline and support levels.
