As Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, reclaims the crucial $85,000 mark on Monday, top analysts are projecting heightened volatility in the market for the coming week.
Bitcoin Eyes Key Liquidity Zones Above $90,000
Crypto analyst CrypNuevo provided insights in a recent update on social media site X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing that despite the chaos surrounding tariffs and potential market manipulation, there are key data points and trends to monitor.
The analyst highlighted the importance of liquidity and price action in the days ahead, noting that liquidations are primarily concentrated in the upside range between $90,000 and $91,500—psychological levels for many traders.
With Bitcoin gaining 7% on the weekly time frame, potential for a move to tackle these liquidity zones might be expected, further recovering from the cryptocurrency’s crash toward $74,000 experienced last week.
CrypNuevo also mentioned that the current liquidation delta is relatively balanced, with approximately $15 billion in long positions at maximum liquidity. He suggested that a threshold of over $25 billion in liquidations would warrant closer attention.
The analyst’s ideal scenario for the coming week involves price compression between the daily and weekly 50-day exponential moving averages (EMA), as of now placed at approximately $86,000, which could lead to a significant expansion in price.
Rising Wedge Formation
Analysts often look for patterns in market behavior, and CrypNuevo speculated that a third retest could occur, following the market’s tendency to move in threes.
The analyst alleges that this would further compress prices, potentially leading to a more aggressive breakout later on. He identified a key mid-range support line at $81,000, suggesting that while this scenario may be slightly less likely, it remains a possibility.
Another prominent analyst, Ali Martinez, echoed these sentiments on social media, identifying the critical support level for Bitcoin at $82,024, where approximately 96,580 BTC were previously accumulated.
This zone could be of key support for the cryptocurrency in case of CrypNuevo’s scenario of further retests taking place in the coming days for BTC’s price.
However, Ali Martinez also pointed out on social media that BTC may be forming a rising wedge pattern, which could indicate a potential retest of the $79,000 support level.
While Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $85,000, it still remains over 21% below its all-time high of $109,000, which was reached in January of this year.
However, with the current market sentiment indicating a renewed sense of bullishness, this gap may close rapidly over the course of the month.
