This aligns with an outlook from a crypto analyst, who noted that Bitcoin might crash toward $100,000.<\/p>\n<h2>Resistance Band Faces Test For Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>According to crypto analyst Pejman_Zwin on the TradingView platform, Bitcoin<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/BTCUSDT\/LuCEPmvJ-Geopolitical-Tensions-Technical-Pattern-Point-to-BTC-Decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> is hovering within a confluence of resistance<\/a> and short liquidation zones, stretching from $105,330 to $107,120. This range, he notes, is not only a structural resistance zone but also corresponds with the cumulative short liquidation leverage area.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, this means there\u2019s a high possibility of an intensified price volatility if this zone is challenged or broken. The charts also reveal the presence of a possible contracting triangle pattern, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-price-primed-90000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which is a bearish continuation setup<\/a> in the context of a larger correction.<\/p>\n<p>According to the analyst, if Bitcoin fails to reclaim $106,600 convincingly, the structure could shift from a corrective triangle to a five-wave downward impulse. This would cause a deeper retracement, especially as the price is already forming lower highs within the triangle. As such, the longer Bitcoin lingers in this resistance range without a breakout, the higher the likelihood of a rapid downward move.<\/p>\n<h2>Bearish And Bull Targets<\/h2>\n<p>If Bitcoin were to confirm this breakdown, the analyst noted the first major target around the lower boundary of the support zone, which lies between $105,330 and $103,162. This zone is reinforced by the monthly pivot point and also overlaps with the cumulative long liquidation leverage region. The 1-hour candlestick timeframe chart further highlighted a potential short setup from the reversal zone near $107,100 and a projected target close to $104,300.<\/p>\n<p>Further downside could pull the price toward the next support band around $102,600 or even down to $101,000, should liquidation pressure persist. Pejman, on the other hand, pointed out that a sustained breakout above the $107,120 resistance line could initiate a bullish reversal and push Bitcoin back towards the heavy resistance cluster above $108,000. A strong daily close above $108,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-to-14000-in-50-days-bitwise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">could cancel the bearish outlook. <\/a>However, failure to break above here could lead to a rejection and another downside move.<\/p>\n<p>Although Bitcoin is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-investors-remain-calm-despite-israel-iran-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">starting to show some signs of bullishness, <\/a>its price action is still vulnerable to a quick pullback, especially if the tensions in the Middle East continue to unfold. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $106,638, down 0.02% in the past 24 hours. This subdued price action shows its current consolidation nature.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s recent price activity has been characterized by sharp swings as global uncertainties persist, particularly following the escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran.
