Bitcoin Approaches All-Time Highs

Traders are noting that Bitcoin is nearing its previous all-time highs and suggest it needs to maintain this momentum. “At this stage, I really don’t want to see it drop below $108K again,” one trader remarked, indicating hopes for a breakout.

Potential Risk for Bitcoin

“We should aim to close around the $110,000 mark,” they added. Bitcoin reached $110,498 on Thursday but later retraced to about $109,250. This figure is roughly 2.5% shy of its record high of $111,970, according to recent data.

Daan’s chart analysis suggests that if Bitcoin drops to certain levels it recently recovered from, there could be a bearish trend, potentially pushing prices down to below $100,000, or even to $96,000.

Since June 22, when it briefly touched $98,900 amid geopolitical tensions, Bitcoin has not fallen below $100,000. A move past this threshold could liquidate long positions worth around $2.67 billion, according to data from Coinglass.

Analysts Show Confidence

Other analysts seem optimistic about Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher noted that it’s tough to adopt a bearish stance at this moment. Similarly, Crypto trader Cryptofayz mentioned that if Bitcoin maintains its current high of $111,960, it could rise further to around $116,000.

Markus Thielen from 10x Research even indicated that such price levels might be achievable by the end of July.

Changing Integration Patterns

However, Daan pointed out that the current integration phase for Bitcoin appears different from past cycles. “It still follows a familiar pattern—deviating downwards, regaining ranges, and then pushing higher,” but he expressed concerns about the lack of “actual breakouts and continuance.”

James McKay, Founder of McKay Research, commented on the significance of prolonged integration periods, suggesting that they might alter the typical cyclical behavior observed every four years.
