Today I feel that Bitcoin may just need a little encouragement in the short-term, something like "you can do it!" or "go on, take a leap of faith" might work.
Or more realistically, one smallish whale giving it the push in the right direction could be all that needs to happen:

Otherwise, failing to move back into the resistance area soon, we may just need to be a little more patient, make another higher low again around the VPVR ($18.6K):
Price held the $18K support level, for now establishing a bullish higher low, while now re-testing local resistance. The trend remains bullish with old resistance now confirmed as support.

Patience is a virtue.
