Bitcoin (BTC) on the Edge: Will It Break Resistance or Face Another Reversal?

• Bitcoin struggles to break resistance, keeping traders cautious amid ongoing market uncertainty.
• A breakout above $86,929 could shift focus, but weak breakouts risk quick reversals.
• BTC must hold above $84,000 to confirm momentum, or risk further downside pressure.

Bitcoin is not able to rise beyond its critical levels hence continues to cause anxiety among traders. Nonetheless, the price has not been able to break the resistance level and is still moving in a lateral pattern in the market. Concerns have been raised that if it does not gain a confirmed breakout, Bitcoin will remain a rather volatile market in the short term.  

Breakout or Liquidity Trap?

More Crypto online stated that the BTC has not broken through the resistance as preserved the current market standing. But if the price goes above $86,929 it will lead to focusing on other resistance levels by traders. However, it is important to exercise a lot of care as the weak breakouts tend to reverse with a lot of force thereby trapping many investors.  

Traders are encouraged to wait for a breakout confirmation before making a trade according to the analysts. However, moving above a resistance level is only deemed valid when the Bitcoin price does not retreat immediately after reaching the said level. If the price bounces up, only to quickly drop back down, it is most probably a liquidity squeeze rather than a breakout. 

Market Awaits Bitcoin’s Next Move

According to Rekt Capital, the leading cryptocurrency dropped through the $84,000 mark and opening the door for more decline. However, instead of expectations, Bitcoin has reversed and is now testing the same level. Such price action indicates that sellers are running out of steam, although a close above $84,000 is required to establish higher ground.

This continues to suggest that the market is still consolidating and there is no telling which direction the price of bitcoin is headed for next. The situation is characterized by high volatility with price oscillation remaining within a defined corridor and very little new positions being taken by traders. 

The $84,000 mark serves as the logical support level if Bitcoin is to establish an upward momentum towards regaining the higher resistance levels. But holding could bring the shares back to selling pressure and risks with possible downside may arise.  Currently, at the time of writing, BTC is trading at $82,702 and is up by around 0.90% in the last 24 hours.

A few subsequent days are expected to provide an indication of further movements regarding Bitcoin. If buyers take the control, then the price may likely experience a high upward trend. However, if the resistance levels remain strong, the market may stay in a volatile area of trading in a range-bound manner with many ‘crossing of its arms’ between the bulls and bears signaling caution.
