The Bitcoin price rose by a fraction of a percentage in the last 24 hours to trade at $58,346 as of 03:36 a.m. EST on trading volume that surged 5% to $34 billion.

Bitcoin Price Could Rebound
The Bitcoin price movements in July formed a rounding top pattern as the bears took control of the price and drove it to the $49,000 support. However, in August, the price of Bitcoin invalidated the bearish sentiments of the pattern, soaring to the $63,000 resistance, according to data from GeckoTerminal .
BTC has since been trading within a falling channel pattern, but the price bulls aim for a price rebound over the channel.
The price of Bitcoin still trades below both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), supporting the bearish movements from its resistance level.
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently trades slightly below the neutral level, at 43, which indicates that bulls are accumulating and aiming for a rebound over the channel.
According to the Bitcoin price analysis, BTC is currently bearish, but shows that the bulls are preparing for a rebound over the falling channel pattern. If the bulls take charge of the price at this level, BTC could soar, as the bulls currently target $68,000.
