What’s next for Bitcoin?
“Nice bounce so far and lack of follow-through lower,” Crypto businessman well Skew said on a Friday X post. Participants in the market are likely to remain careful on the weekend with the BTC that is strictly linked to traditional markets amid increased geopolitical risks, Skew added.
In longer hours, some analysts see the risks of a deeper pullback.
10X research founder Markus Thielen noted that the BTC collapse below $ 106,000 translates into a failed breakout, and entrepreneurs must wait for more desirable disappointments before hurrying to buy sinking.
He featured the $ 100,000- $ 101,000 zone as the main support, warning that a break below could mark a return to the wider phase of integration similar to the past summer.
John Glover, chief investment officer at the Bitcoin Lender Ledn, argued that Bitcoin had entered a corrective phase from record highs that could see the largest digital asset drop at $ 88,000- $ 93,000.
He said the $ 90,000 level could offer a desirable entry for opportunities for investors before the BTC continued its support.
“When this pattern is played, the next move higher than $ 130,000 areas is expected to start,” he said.
