$BTC Crucial Pivot Levels - Bullish Reclaim or Range Low Next?It's crucial to watch the reaction if we hit the 79.3k area. If we reclaim it, CRYPTOCAP:BTC goes back to being bullish. If we get rejected, it was just a bearish retest and the next logical target is the mid-73s (good short opportunity, especially as a hedge if you hold spot)
Note that both 73k and 79k are key pivots
The mid-73s area acts as the last bullish defense line. If we retest and bounce there, expect a chop between 73k-79k until the end of summer
The worst-case scenario long-term would be losing the 73s.
That means the next logical target is range low (63k), or worse, putting in a new low
The most important thing you can do is adapt based on how price reacts to key pivot levels
BTCUSD; Heikin Ashi Trade Idea๐ Hey Traders!
Hereโs a fresh outlook from my trading desk.
๐งฉ I trade high-probability Supply & Demand zones using Heikin Ashi charts on the 4H timeframe.
๐ง Mechanical, structured, and clean.

Bitcoin Outlook for the day & setup for Pullback trade.After a sharp Correction that was started on 14th may, price seems to found a holding ground and consolidating in a sideways direction, withing a narrow range for sometime, breakout of this range might trigger a quick up move (Pullback), to capture that move we can take long position above the highest level of the range.
where as on the downside if the price continues to fall below 76000, the outlook can be very weak.
Point to notice
Current downfall stalled at the 0.786 fib level of previous upswing which was started on 29th April & It can act as a strong support.
Important levels
On the downside 76,000 is the immediate support level.
where as (on intraday time frame) on the upside, level of 77,755 crucial, it can act as an important hinderance, Strict Risk management and Position should be sized according to individuals risk apatite.

BTCUSDT โ Final Correction Before Explosive Rally to New ATH?This BTCUSDT 1W timeframe chart shows a very interesting structure because it has strong similarities to the 2022 Bitcoin Bear Market pattern ๐ป๐. Currently, the price action appears to be forming a major corrective structure after failing to maintain the previous ATH area.
The chart shows:
- ๐ป Descending resistance (downtrend line)
- ๐จ Strong Demand Zone around $60,000 โ $52,500
- ๐ A correction structure of around -22%
- โ ๏ธ Potential fake breakdown before a major bullish expansion
The yellow zone between $60K โ $52.5K is becoming the most important area in determining Bitcoinโs next direction ๐งญ๐ฐ
---
๐ Chart Structure Analysis
The current structure is forming a:
๐ป Falling Wedge / Descending Broadening Structure
This pattern often appears when the market enters a distribution phase or the final stage of a correction before a major reversal happens ๐๐
Characteristics visible on the chart:
- ๐ Continuous Lower High formation
- ๐ป Selling pressure starting to weaken
- ๐ฏ Price moving toward a major demand zone
- ๐ Volatility beginning to tighten
Historically, structures like this on Bitcoin often end with:
1. ๐ง Liquidity sweep to the downside
2. ๐ Support reclaim
3. ๐ Explosive breakout upward
---
๐จ Major BTC Demand Zone
Yellow Zone:
๐ฐ $60,000 โ $52,500
This area represents:
- ๐ก๏ธ Strong weekly support
- ๐ฆ Potential re-accumulation zone
- ๐ง Psychological market area
- ๐ Mid-term bullish validation zone
As long as BTC remains above this area, the macro bullish structure is still considered valid โ
๐

๐ Bullish Scenario
โ
Bullish Scenario
If BTC can:
- ๐ Hold above the $60K โ $52.5K demand zone
- ๐ฅ Break out from the descending resistance
- ๐ Form a new Higher High
Then the potential move could be:
- ๐ฏ Re-test the previous ATH
- ๐ Continue bullish expansion
- ๐ Move toward a new psychological area above $120K
The chart even illustrates the possibility of a massive impulsive rally after the correction phase is completed โก๐
Bullish momentum would become even stronger if breakout volume increases and weekly candles close back above the resistance trendline ๐๐ฅ
---
๐ป Bearish Scenario
โ Bearish Scenario
If BTC fails to hold the demand zone:
- ๐ Breakdown below $52.5K
- โ ๏ธ Weekly close below major support
- ๐ฉธ Seller volume increases significantly
Then the market could enter a deeper correction phase:
- ๐ Large liquidity sweep
- ๐จ Panic selling
- ๐ Retest of the next macro support
However, as long as there is no valid breakdown below the demand zone, this area is still considered a strong institutional buyback zone ๐ฆ๐จ
---
๐ง Conclusion
BTC is currently at a crucial area that could determine the market direction for the next several months โณ๐
The chart structure shows similarities to the previous bear market phase, but it also opens the possibility of forming a:
โก โFinal Shakeout Before Massive Bull Runโ ๐๐
The $60K โ $52.5K demand zone is the most important area to monitor because it could become a major reversal point if buyers regain market dominance ๐ฐ๐

Bitcoin - The bullish cycle is starting now!๐Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTCUSD ) is starting another bullrun:
๐Analysis summary:
Bitcoin is perfectly following all major cycles on the higher timeframe. And looking at the current bullish retest of major support, this behavior just continues. Bitcoin remains incredibly bullish and is looking like it is really starting its next major crypto cycle.
๐Levels to watch:
$70,000
๐๐ปTrusting the Trading Gods
$BTC Deviation & Bearish Close SetupCRYPTOCAP:BTC closed the weekly with a bearish engulfing candle on the HTF and the daily deviation is officially in play. In conclusion, macro structure is completely bearish.
On the LTF, we are strictly looking for short entries. If we retest 77.3 and catch a reject, that's a solid short setup.
If we lose the 76.7 level instead, we wait for the retest to trigger the short entry.
The arrows on the chart represent our LTF short entry triggers. LTF invalidation occurs if we clear and reclaim either level.
The HTF invalidation for this entire bearish thesis is a clean reclaim of the 79.3 level.
Until then, every bounce is for shorting on the LTF.
Taking it level by level until we hit the range low at 63k.
Bitcoin Is Losing Support _ And Macro Pressure Is BuildingBitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) started to decline right after the U.S. markets opened, surprising many traders. A large number of traders expected Bitcoin to attack the 200_SMA(Daily) once again, but that scenario did not happen.
At the moment, Bitcoin is attempting to break the support zone($79,750-$79,480) and the lower line of the descending channel.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, it seems we should expect more corrective downward waves, especially considering the bearish momentum seen in recent hours.
Additionally, the DXY index ( TVC:DXY ) is still showing bullish momentum, and due to Bitcoinโs strong correlation with the S&P 500 index ( FX:SPX500 ) in recent months, any weakness in the S&P 500 could also pressure Bitcoin further. At the same time, the U.S. 10-Year Government Bond Yield( TVC:US10 ) still appears bullish, and all of these factors together could support further downside for Bitcoin.
I expect Bitcoin to continue its bearish movement, break the support zone($79,750-$79,480), and, after filling the CME gap($78,545-$78,220), decline at least toward the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) .
Target: Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ)
Stop Loss(SL): $80,900(Worst)
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $83,580-$82,540
CME gap: $84,560-$83,215
Whatโs your view on Bitcoin? Can Bitcoin move back above $80,000, or should we expect a deeper correction?
Note: We should also continue monitoring geopolitical developments closely. Any escalation in tensions or unexpected news events could lead to further downside pressure on Bitcoin.
๐ก Please respect each other's opinions and express agreement or disagreement politely.

BTCUSDTHello Traders! ๐
What are your thoughts on Bitcoin ?
Looking at the daily chart of Bitcoin, several key technical factors are converging, pointing toward a strong potential for a short-term corrective move:
The Ascending Channel & Channel Top: Since the sharp drop in early February, price has been trading within a well-defined Ascending Channel. The recent rally pushed the price right into the upper boundary (Channel Top), which naturally acts as a dynamic take-profit and reversal zone for buyers.
Major Horizontal Resistance Zone : This channel top perfectly coincides with the previous major support-turned-resistance zone between $82,500 and $85,000, where sellers are heavily defending.
Confluence with the Golden Fib Ratio : To make this resistance cluster even stronger, the horizontal supply zone and channel top align perfectly with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level at $83,353. The recent long upper wicks (shadows) in this area confirm heavy selling pressure and a textbook rejection.
Break of the Inner Trendline: The steeper, local ascending trendline that was guiding the price since late April has now been broken to the downside. Price is currently trading below it , signaling a loss of bullish momentum and confirming the rejection from the channel top.
Given the perfect confluence of the Channel Top, 0.618 Fib level, and the breakdown of the local trendline, the most probable scenario is a deeper correction toward the main channelโs lower boundary.
What are your thoughts? Will BTC manage to break above the channel top, or are we heading straight to the channel bottom at $71K?

BTCUSDT Market Bias Today | Liquidity Zone & EMA ResistanceBTCUSDT continues trading under major EMA resistance on the 1H timeframe, keeping the overall short-term market bias bearish while price consolidates near a key liquidity support zone.
After a strong sell-side expansion, Bitcoin is now showing signs of temporary stabilization. However, buyers still need stronger momentum confirmation before a meaningful recovery can develop.
๐ Market Structure Overview:
โข Price remains below key moving averages
โข Bearish trend structure still active
โข MACD momentum attempting recovery
โข Liquidity zone acting as short-term support
โข Resistance cluster remains around the EMA region
๐น Bullish Scenario:
If BTC maintains support and gains bullish momentum, a recovery pullback toward the 79,200 โ 79,500 resistance area becomes possible.
๐น Bearish Scenario:
Failure to defend the liquidity zone could trigger another bearish continuation move toward the 77,000 support region.
Key Areas to Watch:
โข EMA resistance zone
โข Liquidity support
โข Momentum confirmation
โข Market structure shifts
This analysis is based on price action, liquidity structure, and trend momentum behavior on the 1H timeframe.

$BTC Deviation SetupIf we close the daily below 78.7, the deviation is confirmed
Lose this level and weโre likely looking at a slow bleed all summer straight into the range low
The structure right now looks way too similar to what we saw back in Nov-Jan
We've been flooded with massive positive news lately, yet CRYPTOCAP:BTC completely failed to sustain the 80k level
When price refuses to pump on good news, it's usually time to pay attention
If SPX starts breaking down as well, consider that the final trigger for a deeper summer correction
Patiently waiting for the daily and weekly close here. This level dictates the next major move
Bitcoin Bottom Inโฆ Or One Final Leg Down to $51K?It has been a while since my last post. Now I feel itโs an important timeโa fork in the roadโwhether history will repeat or we break the cycle and hold this level.
The main chart above shows how it would look if BTC just repeated the last cycle. A slow grind over the next three years would bring it to 330k after 1064 days. What if we get the same slow grind like last cycle?
Letโs dig in.
Letโs start with the most obvious data.
History keeps on repeating: 1064 days from bottom to top and 364 days from top to bottom, which is shown in weeks in this chart. Will it take the same time from top to bottom again? If so, the BTC bottom will be in October 2026.
Will this multi-year support line hold? It broke it in the COVID crash but never closed under it. Even its current low did not touch it, but has been closing weeklies just above it for a while now.
So this is where I think we currently are. I believe Bitcoin has one more leg. If we speculate that the orange circle is in fact the new golden pocket of this cycle, then we can calculate the new bottom, which shows 51k. So the new low this cycle will land in October 2026 and it will be 51k if history repeats.
There is one more wave left.
If thatโs the case, it will most likely look like this. It would mean we break the multi-year support.
Pi cycle
No flash for cycle bottom yet, but then again it failed to flash cycle top last cycle.
SRP
SRP indicator has not flashed bottom. In the last two cycles it flashed, and it is not a lagging indicator. I saw this live on that weekly candle flip in November 2022โwild stuff.
Mayer Bands
Every cycle, to confirm the bottom of the cycle, we touch the lower red band, which in turn creates the lowest ratio number, which is shown as a black marker on the bottom part of this picture. Thatโs the key.
Right now the bottom of that band is 36k and no black marker has come out.
Conclusion
So the question is: does history keep on repeating? Do we get a wave 5 down to 51k in October 2026?
Or
Does the cycle break and Bitcoin bottom here?
Right now the data is not 100% clear that the bottom is in, and I lean more towards one more leg down before the next crypto bull market.
Quick Bitcoin Daily update - CAUTION 14 SMA lost
This is a BITCOIN INDEX DAILY CHART
SMA 9 Orange
SMA 14 GREEN
SMA 50 RED
SMA 200 YELLOW
PA got rejected off the 200 SMA and came back down and tested the 14 SMA as support.
This failed
The Next line of support is the 0.236 Fib retrace line at around 77300
After that we have the 50 SMA at around 75300
Bitcoin is getting over sold
This does not mean PA will stop falling but it does imply that it could find support soon.
The Big issue is the $ getting stronger.
Simply put, the $ offers a possible higher return than BTC right now. This may not last as $ heads towards resistance
But the $ does not trade at weekends and so we could see an improvement for BTC this weekend but we need to be VERY CAUTIOUS as trading opens for the $ on Sunday Night / Monday Morning ( Europe )
As I have said many time, for months, I do not see Bitcoin falling below that 60K at a MAX Drop....
Accumulate Bitcoin and just HOLD.......

๐ RELATED PAIRS TO WATCH (Correlated Assets)
๐ BTC Pairs in USD โ Key Correlations:
- ๐ก BTC/USD (Spot Reference)
โณ Primary benchmark โ all crypto moves price-discover here first
- ๐ต ETH/USDT (~$2,226)
โณ High positive correlation with BTC. If ETH breaks down below $2,100,
expect BTC selling pressure to accelerate. ETH weakness = broader
market fear amplifier.
- ๐ฃ XRP/USDT (~$1.44)
โณ Regulatory-sensitive. Currently tracking BTC moves on a lag.
XRP strength often signals speculative risk appetite returning.
A drop below $1.30 would confirm risk-off environment.
- ๐ข SOL/USDT (~$89.80)
โณ High-beta BTC follower. Historically amplifies BTC moves by
1.5xโ2.5x. A SOL breakdown below $85 is an early warning signal
for BTC weakness continuation.
- ๐ด BNB/USDT (Binance Coin)
โณ Exchange-health proxy. BNB weakness alongside BTC decline signals
exchange outflows and bearish sentiment. Watch BNB/BTC ratio.
- โซ DOGE/USDT (~$0.110)
โณ Retail sentiment barometer. DOGE was the top weekly gainer recently
(+10%), suggesting retail is still active. Divergence with BTC can
signal sentiment shifts before price moves.
- ๐ BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance ~64โ65%)
โณ CRITICAL WATCH. Dominance above 60% historically signals Bitcoin
Season โ capital rotating INTO BTC, OUT of altcoins. Current
dominance confirms BTC is the market's focal point. Any spike
in BTC.D during a price drop = hard risk-off. Any drop in BTC.D
= altcoin season brewing.
- ๐ฆ DXY (US Dollar Index)
โณ INVERSE CORRELATION in focus โ DXY breaking toward 101 on a
daily breakout. BTC's traditional inverse relationship with DXY is
being tested in 2026. A stronger dollar = headwind for BTC.
Watch DXY closely alongside BTC price action.

๐ REAL-TIME FUNDAMENTALS & MACRO ECONOMIC FACTORS
๐ก What the ACTUAL MARKET is saying right now โ no bias, no spin.
Pure live data and news driving BTC price action as of 16 May 2026 (London Time):
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐๏ธ MACRO & MONETARY POLICY
- ๐ด Federal Reserve: Held interest rates STEADY at 3.50%โ3.75% for the THIRD consecutive meeting. No surprise, but no clarity on rate cuts either โ and that uncertainty is keeping institutional buyers sidelined.
- ๐ Fed Chair Transition: Jerome Powell's term expired 15 May 2026. Kevin Warsh (Trump's nominee) cleared the Senate Banking Committee on 29 April 2026 and is expected to take over. Markets are pricing in that Warsh is MORE open to rate cuts. The mere expectation of future easing is already lifting risk-asset sentiment.
- ๐ Rate Cut Expectations: Not yet confirmed, but the trifecta of regulatory clarity + institutional adoption + anticipated rate cuts is building a structural tailwind for crypto assets into H2 2026.
- ๐ต US Dollar Index (DXY): Breaking toward 101 on the daily chart. BTC's classic inverse correlation with DXY is cracking in 2026 โ this is a critical macro tension to monitor.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ REGULATORY LANDSCAPE
- โ
CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act): Advanced from the U.S. Senate Banking Committee with a bipartisan 15โ9 vote. The bill assigns digital commodities to CFTC oversight and digital securities to the SEC. This is a MASSIVE structural positive for Bitcoin and institutional capital access. When first announced, it briefly pushed BTC above $82,000.
- ๐ฆ Stablecoin Rules: Senate's compromise Clarity Act language bars stablecoin issuers from paying yield on reserves (affecting USDT/USDC dynamics). A final framework is expected to emerge, which could reshape liquidity in the broader crypto market.
- ๐ Europe: MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) framework continues to roll out across EU, adding a layer of global regulatory convergence that is long-term positive.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ ETF & INSTITUTIONAL FLOWS
- ๐ฆ Spot Bitcoin ETFs: BlackRock's IBIT and competing products are recording renewed institutional inflows. ETF assets under management hover near $147 Billion โ with projections of $180Bโ$220B by year-end.

๐ GEOPOLITICAL & RISK FACTORS
- ๐ข๏ธ Iran Tensions: Earlier in May 2026, escalating Iran-related geopolitical risk briefly pushed BTC to a weekly low near $75,500 before recovery. Strait of Hormuz risk remains a macro wildcard.

Bitcoin - Heading for a quick +50% rally!๐
Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTCUSD ) is taking off right now:
๐Analysis summary:
Bitcoin is sooo nicely following all major higher timeframe cycles. And while everyone is getting caught up in short term noise, Bitcoin is just printing money. With the recent all time high break and retest, Bitcoin is now heading for another quick rally of about +50%.
๐Levels to watch:
$120,000
๐๐ปKeep your #LONGTERMVISION โ Phil
BitcoinBitcoin rejected from premium pricing and delivered strong bearish displacement on H2, shifting short-term orderflow bearish. Sell-side liquidity below 78.3k is now the main draw on price. As long as price respects the bearish origin and invalidation level, Iโll maintain bearish bias targeting external liquidity below the current range.
Note: Invalidation neutralizes my current bias.
