Bitcoin is grappling with intensified volatility following a sharp selloff triggered by US President Donald Trump\u2019s abrupt announcement of a sweeping 50% tariff <\/a>on all EU imports starting June 1. The unexpected macroeconomic move sent shockwaves through assets, and Bitcoin was no exception, dropping aggressively from all-time highs near $111,800<\/a> to lows around $107,500 in a matter of hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although there was a brief recovery towards $109,000, the ensuing price action now shows an intense battle between the bulls and bears, with technical analysis on the 1-hour candlestick timeframe showing the two ways Bitcoin can play out this week.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Compression Structure Between Fair Value Gaps<\/h2>\n

According to crypto analyst TehThomas, Bitcoin\u2019s current price structure is defined by two <\/a>opposing 1-hour fair value gaps (FVGs). The lower FVG zone identified by the analyst is around $107,500, which showed up during the rally towards $111,814 ATH and is now acting as the first significant reaction point post-rally.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The upper FVG range is between $109,800 and $110,700. This level, previously the base of a breakdown candle, flipped into strong resistance on Friday. Interestingly, a rejection was confirmed inside this upper FVG, which showed there were many sellers present in that zone.<\/p>\n

Notably, the 1-hour chart shared by the analyst points to a deadlock scenario for the Bitcoin price. A breakout above or below the identified fair value gaps will likely define the directional bias for Bitcoin\u2019s next major leg. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s next impulsive move will likely come with volume confirmation, either with a bullish displacement above resistance or a bearish rejection that pushes the Bitcoin price toward a lower demand target.<\/p>\n\n

Bullish And Bearish Scenarios For Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Interestingly, since the analysis, the ensuing price action<\/a> has been marked by Bitcoin\u2019s failure to reclaim the upper FVG and more of a consolidation around the lower FVG at $107,500. This places the most significance around this level, as Bitcoin\u2019s reaction here could either cause a rebound upwards or a significant price retracement.<\/p>\n

For the bullish scenario, <\/a>a bounce at the lower FVG will send the Bitcoin price towards the upper FVG. A sustained move above the upper FVG at $110,700 would indicate a bullish reclaim and might bring a new all-time high around $113,000 back into focus.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

For the bearish scenario, especially with a clean loss of the $107,500 level, the path opens for a move toward $106,000.\u00a0 This level is aligned with a liquidity pool left behind from consolidation early last week. If the structure breaks downward below $106,000, sellers may seize control in the short term.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $107,017.<\/p>\n
