Double Bottom Pattern: Bitcoin Total Domination Last week my post on Bitcoin dominance played out faster than it was expected. (see related) This indicator broke out into 60-70% area. So, I switched to a weekly time frame and spotted a classic reversal pattern called "Double Bottom" in the making for you. Let's break it down. We have two bottoms highlighted with yellow arcs in the same area. Indicator eyes the middle top between bottoms, it is called "Neckline" Now, let's breakdown buying technique: 1) buy entry is at the breakout above Neckline (green dashed line) 2) stop loss is at the valley of the right bottom (red dashed line) 3) target is located at the depth of the right bottom from the Neckline. in our case it can't be higher than 100% and is set at the maximum (blue dashed line) Its amazing that technical analysis could predict things that out of our scope as yet.

Bitcoin - Bitcoin lost $100,000?!Bitcoin is trading below the EMA50 and EMA200 on the four-hour timeframe and is trading in its descending channel. Bitcoin’s upward correction and its placement in the supply zone will allow us to resell it. It should be noted that there is a possibility of heavy fluctuations and shadows due to the movement of whales in the market and capital management in the cryptocurrency market will be more important. If the downward trend continues, we can buy in the demand range. In the past trading week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw an inflow of $560 million, though this represents a significant decline compared to the previous two weeks. Meanwhile, as of January 31, 2025, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a minor outflow of $45 million, though this decline was not particularly drastic. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank has advised investors in a new research note to view Bitcoin’s drop below $100,000 and the over 6% single-day decline in the crypto market as a buying opportunity. Jeff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated: “Hope is not a strategy.” He further explained: “When hope disappears, digital asset prices tend to fall by 10% to 20%.” Despite recent market volatility, Standard Chartered remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s price trajectory in 2025. The bank’s research suggests that growing institutional interest could accelerate Bitcoin’s potential surge to $200,000 by the end of the year. Last week, Donald Trump fulfilled two key promises to the crypto industry: 1. Granting clemency to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, who is regarded as a symbolic figure among Bitcoin and libertarian communities. 2.Signing an executive order on cryptocurrencies, which aims to enhance regulatory transparency for digital assets, promote stablecoins, prevent the debanking of the crypto sector, and ban the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). In parallel, Jeff Kendrick of Standard Chartered also warned investors to pay close attention to altcoins, referring to cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin that are expected to experience significant growth in the coming year. He stated: “As soon as we enter the second phase, in my view, the altcoin season will begin.” Kendrick further noted that institutional flows will primarily drive Bitcoin and Ethereum investments, partially offsetting the rotation into altcoins. Responding to the growing interest in Bitcoin and Solana, MetaMask is planning to expand beyond Ethereum. The company is currently working on integrating Bitcoin functionality while simultaneously exploring decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Meanwhile, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has identified the establishment of a state Bitcoin reserve as a top priority for 2025. Texas, already a pioneer in adopting Bitcoin at the state level, continues on this path despite challenges at the national level. If the proposal is approved, Texas will become the first U.S. state to hold Bitcoin as a financial reserve on its balance sheet, a move that could accelerate Bitcoin adoption within the U.S. financial system.

Bitcoin Plunges to $91K Amid Market TurmoilThe cryptocurrency market has been rattled as Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ) nosedived 16% to $91,000, triggering concerns among investors. This steep drop comes amid broader market sell-offs, with Ethereum ( CRYPTOCAP:ETH ) and leading meme coins shedding nearly 20% of their value. The primary catalyst? Speculations of a trade war fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariffs. Technical Analysis Bitcoin's price plummeted to an intraday low of $91,242, marking one of its most significant drops in recent months. Despite rebounding slightly to $94K, BTC’s movement reflects extreme volatility. Key technical indicators suggest: - Support Levels: The next critical support zone lies near $90K, a psychological level that, if broken, could lead to further declines. - Resistance Levels: BTC faces immediate resistance at $100K, with further upside contingent on market recovery. - Liquidations: Over $397 million worth of CRYPTOCAP:BTC long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, amplifying selling pressure. - Bitcoin Dominance: BTC dominance surged 2.76% to 61.38%, indicating that altcoins are suffering heavier losses compared to Bitcoin. Additionally, the 9.5% drop in the total crypto market cap to $3.04 trillion, alongside a 182% increase in trading volume to $286.91 billion**, signals panic-driven trading behavior. Trade War Fears & Market Uncertainty The backdrop for this crypto crash is rooted in macroeconomic developments, particularly **Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China**. The prospect of escalating trade tensions has spooked global investors, leading to a risk-off sentiment across financial markets. Key fundamental factors contributing to Bitcoin’s decline: 1. Global Trade War Speculations – Trump's tariff policy has sparked fears of retaliatory measures, which could weaken global economic stability and reduce institutional appetite for risk assets like cryptocurrencies. 2. Market Liquidations – Over $2 billion worth of crypto liquidations occurred in the past 24 hours, intensifying downward momentum. 3. Investor Sentiment Shift – Uncertainty prevails as market participants remain divided, with some anticipating a rebound while others brace for further declines. 4. Macroeconomic Headwinds – Broader economic factors, including inflation concerns and regulatory uncertainties, add pressure to BTC's price action. What’s Next for Bitcoin? While the current downturn is causing fear, Bitcoin has historically demonstrated resilience in the face of macroeconomic turmoil. The coming days will be critical, with key factors to watch including: - $90K Support Test – If Bitcoin holds this level, a relief rally could follow, potentially targeting $100K resistance. - Macroeconomic Developments – Any updates on the global trade situation or Federal Reserve monetary policy could influence BTC’s trajectory. - Institutional Interest – Large players may use this dip as a buying opportunity, injecting fresh liquidity into the market. Conclusion Bitcoin's 16% crash to $91K reflects a combination of technical breakdowns and macroeconomic pressures. While uncertainty looms, BTC remains a key asset in the crypto ecosystem, with historical recoveries following major dips. As the market navigates trade war fears, investors should remain cautious, keeping an eye on support levels and potential rebounds.

Watching for 98.2K resistance for short entryMorning folks, So, this week / our DRPO "Sell" pattern is one step closer to confirmation and has a good chances to start working this week. Meantime, due to weekend collapse BTC now is overextended. The problem is not about BTC itself but in jump of the USD, triggered by Donny's tariffs. We suggest to get technical rally, back to ~98.2K resistance area and consider short entry there if DRPO still will be OK. If DRPO will be confirmed this week, its target stands around 81K support area. So, it is worthy to pay attention to...

BITCOIN BEARISH PROJECTION#Bitcoin is showing potential for downside momentum if the price confirms a breakout below key support. A confirmed breakdown could lead to a retracement toward the 200 EMA, aligning with a possible 38% Fibonacci correction. The double top formation has intensified bearish sentiment, pushing the price below $95K. Additionally, fair value gaps on the left indicate that if selling pressure increases, the price could dip below $80K. The trendline drawn on the daily timeframe is also acting as a crucial support level to watch. The market has been struggling, with panic setting in due to recent developments. This aligns with escalating trade tensions, driven by Donald Trump’s decisive actions regarding Canada and BRICS. Key events contributing to market uncertainty include the latest tariffs imposed on Canadian goods, potential restrictions on trade with BRICS nations, and heightened geopolitical friction. These factors have intensified volatility, prompting investors to reassess risks in the global economy.

Reg Optimism, Implicit Fed Support, & Insti Demand to Boost BTCBitcoin prices surged on President Trump’s inauguration day (Jan 20), reaching an all-time high of USD 109,000. However, since then, prices have stagnated. Recent tariff announcement has driven a sharp selloff. Optimism about a crypto-friendly Trump administration continue to fuel bullish sentiment, but the lack of concrete regulatory guidance has limited near-term momentum. MACRO FACTORS AT PLAY BTC remains below key resistance levels, limiting upward momentum. However, it has outperformed equities in the current macroeconomic environment. While equities faced an AI-driven selloff last week, BTC showed resilience, rebounding quickly from its Jan 24 lows. Additionally, BTC has benefited from market uncertainty, like gold, which is also trading near an all-time high. The recent FOMC meeting initially pressured BTC, as the Fed held rates steady and expressed inflation concerns. However, BTC rebounded 2.4% after Fed Chair Powell clarified that changes in inflation-related language were not intended as a strong signal. Source: CME FedWatch The Federal Reserve’s latest dot plot suggests only two rate cuts in 2025. Market expectations, per the CME FedWatch tool, align with this outlook. While a higher-rate environment limits tailwinds for BTC, bullish sentiment continues, driven by regulatory anticipation and increasing institutional and sovereign adoption. BREAKING DOWN TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER On Jan 23, President Trump issued an executive order titled "Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology." The order emphasizes fostering digital asset growth while maintaining U.S. financial sovereignty, particularly through USD-backed stablecoins. It also protects citizens’ rights to use blockchain networks without government interference. Key provisions include: 1. Creation of a National Economic Council working group on digital assets, chaired by David Sacks. 2. Review of existing regulations within 30–60 days, followed by a report to the President in 180 days. 3. Consideration of a national digital asset reserve while explicitly prohibiting government action on (Central Bank Digital Currency) CBDCs. U.S. BITCOIN RESERVE: REALITY CHECK While the executive order affirms the administration’s pro-crypto stance, it stops short of immediately establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. If approved, the reserve would take shape in at least six months, delaying any near-term impact. The working group may begin by utilizing seized cryptocurrency rather than purchasing new BTC. The U.S. government currently holds 198,000 BTC (~USD 20B, as of Feb 1) and USD 400M in other crypto assets. For context, U.S. strategic reserves include: (a) Gold: 8,133 tonnes (~USD 737B as of 31/Jan), (b) Crude oil: 395M barrels (~USD 28B, as of 24/Jan), and (c) Foreign currency reserves: ~USD 239B (Q3 2024). The U.S. gold reserve accounts for 3.8% of the total above-ground gold stock, while its Bitcoin holdings currently represent just 1% of the total supply. To match the gold reserve proportion, U.S. Bitcoin holdings would need to increase by 554,000 BTC, valued at approximately USD 55 billion at current prices. Over time, a Bitcoin reserve could realistically expand by USD 50 billion to USD 70 billion. Meanwhile, several U.S. states are advancing their own Bitcoin reserve proposals. 15 states are considering BTC-related fiscal policies, with: • Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania proposing 10% public fund allocations • Texas suggesting a donation/tax model • Arizona and Utah advancing legislation beyond committee stages REGULATORY CERTAINTY FOR BANKS Fed Chair Powell recently confirmed that banks can engage with crypto provided they manage associated risks. While this imposes stricter compliance requirements, it provides much-needed clarity following the post-FTX banking shakeout that shuttered major crypto-focussed banks. Fund Flows: Institutional Demand Remains Strong BTC ETFs saw record one-day inflows of over USD 1B on Trump’s inauguration eve. Since then, daily inflows have averaged USD 257M, with only one outflow day (-USD 457M on Jan 27). Cumulative BTC ETF inflows since Jan 20 now total USD 2.3B, pushing assets under management (AUM) to nearly USD 118B. Source: Arkham Intelligence Notably, ETF investors remain highly profitable at current prices. Arkham Intelligence data shows IBIT ETF holders sitting on a 45% gain, which may limit immediate selling but could lead to some profit-taking. MicroStrategy remains a major BTC buyer. The company recently completed a USD 584M perpetual convertible offering to acquire more BTC, potentially fuelling short-term upside. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS & TRADE SETUP BTC’s recent pullbacks have ranged from 10.1% to 23.6% Fibonacci levels, like the 2018 bull cycle according to Glassnode . Source: Glassnode The drawdown since reaching ATH on 20/Jan represents a ~13% move which suggests the drawdown is larger than usual ones during this cycle. Historically, this phase of the bull run experiences FOMO-driven price acceleration, though long-term holders’ profit-taking presents a headwind. BTC fell below the 50-day MA over the weekend, this level has served as support recently. The 92k level is also significant as it has provided support several times during recent retracements. However, in case the selloff deepens, the next significant support may be as far as the 100-day MA at 85k. HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP BTC has outperformed equities amid macro uncertainty and is increasingly correlated with gold (30-day correlation: 0.67). Recent tariff announcement in the US has driven a sharp selloff. Despite a less-than-ideal FOMC outcome, BTC retains several bullish drivers, supported by Regulatory optimism following Trump’s executive order, Fed Chair Powell’s statements on crypto banking, and Institutional & sovereign demand. The recent selloff offers a tactical opportunity to build long positions during volatile drawdowns. Investors can opt for the following hypothetical trade setup consisting of long position in CME Micro Bitcoin Futures expiring on 28/Feb (MBTG2025). Each contract of MBT provides exposure to 0.1 BTC and requires margin of USD 2,451 as of 31/Jan. • Entry: 94,000 • Target: 100,585 • Stop Loss: 90,000 • Profit at Target: USD 659 ((100,585-94,000) x 0.1 BTC per contract) • Loss at Stop: USD 400 ((90,000-94,000) x 0.1 BTC per contract) • Reward-to-risk Ratio: 1.65x CME Group lists a raft of products covering a range of asset classes more accessible while also enabling granular hedging for portfolio managers.

Bitcoin’s price has finally started movingHello, dear friends!🩷 I’m so glad to see You here! After a week of stagnation, Bitcoin’s price has finally started moving—it’s heading downwards, continuing to form an inverted triangle, or as some might call it, an inverted wedge! I believe that in the near future—perhaps a day or two—we might see Bitcoin at $90,000. Whether the price will continue to drop after that is still unclear, so we’ll keep a close eye on how it develops. How are You doing? Where do You think Bitcoin is headed in the near term? Do You agree with my analysis, or do You have a different opinion? Share Your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear them! Thanks for Your attention🫶 Sincerely Yours, Kateryna 💛

Bitcoin’s Role in Overcoming Tariffs | Public Release 01B.A.S.E Fund | Public Release 01 Bitcoin has once again reached the third touch of the 2D 50 SMA, with recent price drawdowns coinciding with the latest U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Despite short term volatility, our models continue to indicate a strong hold for Bitcoin in the near future. The U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI is heating up, signaling potential rate cuts on the horizon. If monetary easing materializes, downward pressure on the U.S. dollar (DXY) could provide further tailwinds for Bitcoin. A faint trendline extending from the 2016 cycle suggests a similar trajectory, though broader market forces dictate that the overall price channel remains the key indicator to watch. Our initial caution zone begins at $374,000, extending toward $1,000,000. However, given the evolving macroeconomic environment and increasing state level adoption of Bitcoin in the U.S., we acknowledge the possibility that Bitcoin could diverge from its traditional boom-and-bust cycles. A Market Undergoing Structural Transformation What was once a retail-driven speculative market is now solidifying into an institutional cornerstone. As Bitcoin related regulations advance and legal frameworks take shape across individual U.S. states, we anticipate Bitcoin’s behavior to shift away from its historical volatility patterns. While speculative leverage driven price surges remain a possibility, the foundation supporting Bitcoin is now stronger than ever. This time, we expect Bitcoin to be held with the same conviction as long-duration U.S. Treasuries, positioning it as a legitimate asset class within the global financial system.

Bitcoin- Something is Rotten in Denmark- Cause of Concern?In my previous BTC analysis, I mentioned that "it's about time for the price to do something" and highlighted that a breakout above 107k could trigger accelerated upward momentum, potentially leading to a significant new all-time high with a measured target in the 130K zone. However, following days of low volatility, Bitcoin has started to decline instead of breaking through the resistance. Overall, the situation is starting to look unfavorable. Despite the positive news surrounding crypto marklet, Bitcoin's inability to break resistance and reach a new ATH is anything but bullish. From a technical perspective, as of now, the price is hovering just above a local support level. If this level breaks, it could once again expose the 90K confluence support. Given the current conditions, this seems like the most likely scenario. In my opinion, if you’re a speculator, the best approach right now is to stay on the sidelines and observe how the market develops.

Bitcoin: Potential Bearish Breakdown with Key Support Zoneshello guys! The chart suggests a Head and Shoulders pattern, indicating a possible bullish (in a higher time frame) continuation. Here are the key points: Head and Neckline Structure A well-defined head formation at the top, with a sloping trendline indicating weakness. The neckline is around 97,657, which is a key support level. QML2 & Price Rejection The price could test the QML2 area, confirming bearish sentiment. The descending trendline further reinforces selling pressure. Expected Price Action A short-term pullback might occur near 97,657, but a break below this level could trigger further downside. The next major support is the QML1 zone at 93,455, where buyers may step in. If selling pressure continues, the price could drop further into the 91,829 - 91,468 demand area. Potential Reversal Scenario If Bitcoin finds support at the lower QML1 or demand area, a strong bullish recovery toward 103,000+ could follow. Overall, this setup suggests a short-term bearish continuation, but traders should monitor price action near key support zones for a potential bullish reversal.

AT CryptoScan: BTCUSD downside target is...As highlighted previously, there were issues with the recent BTCUSD Bitcoin rally... and so it is very clear now that there is a TOP resistance to breakout eventually. This is marked out by the green box at about 107K. Furthermore, breaking back into the purple box also suggests a breakdown out of the lower end... to which just about happened. The thing is, this is only a beginning and there should be about 5 to 8 days more of overall sliding down. Notice that the candlesticks of late are getting longer and longer? This is indicative of momentum and as it falls over the cliff, it would continue until it stops. Meanwhile, it just is about to break the SuperTrend support. So expect more downside... I marked out the immediate TDST at 89,164, expecting that over the next 5 days shou;ld breakdown below that level. The next TDST is at 69,284... and I think this is a little too far down. Looking for two bounce areas at 88K and 75K for reaccumulation, some time in mid- to end- February. That's the plan.
