Bitcoin (BTC) is currently testing a key resistance and liquidity zone at around 69,500 USD. This level has proven to be a significant barrier for the price action in the recent past.
If BTC can successfully break above this 69500 - 70000 USD resistance level, it could trigger a strong bullish move. The next major target would be the all-time high at 73,000 USD, where Bitcoin may face another resistance level. A decisive breakout above 69,500 USD would signal a potential continuation of the uptrend.
However, if BTC fails to surpass the 69,500 USD resistance zone, the price action might enter a sideways phase. In this case, there's a possibility of a downward move to sweep the liquidity at the 64,000 USD level before potentially resuming its upward trajectory. This liquidity grab could provide an opportunity for buyers to step in and drive the price higher.
From a long-term perspective, I believe Bitcoin remains in an overall uptrend. As a result, a major portion of my portfolio is allocated to long positions, reflecting my bullish outlook on the asset. However, to manage risk and capitalize on potential short-term price fluctuations, I have also opened a small short position to speculate on the current price action around the resistance zone.
By diversifying my positions, I aim to benefit from both the potential upside if Bitcoin breaks above the resistance and the potential downside if it fails to do so. This approach allows me to adapt to different market scenarios while maintaining an overall bullish bias for the long term.
