Bitcoin Heads Into Weekend Under Pressure as Price Tests Key Support Levels

Bitcoin price slipped below $95,000 heading into the weekend, extending a weeklong pullback that has weighed on broader crypto sentiment. The decline marks BTC’s lowest level since May, with Ethereum and major altcoins also easing as liquidity thins and traders turn defensive.

The move places Bitcoin at a critical technical juncture, where the weekly close may determine whether the market stabilizes or slides deeper into correction.

BTC Approaches Major Support Cluster

Bitcoin is currently holding above a key support band between $93,900 and $92,800, an area that has acted as a structural base for much of the recent trend. A sustained move below this range would weaken the broader setup and expose the price to deeper downside levels.

A second liquidity pocket between $94,500 and $92,000 reinforces the importance of this lower zone, which traders are watching closely as the next potential line of defense.

Reclaiming $100K Would Signal Stabilization

On the upside, BTC faces immediate resistance at $100,300, a former support level that flipped to resistance earlier this week. A recovery above that threshold would be the first sign of short-term stabilization, with a broader resistance block between $101,600 and $106,300 coming into play afterward.

Market analysts note that a weekly close back above the $100,000 region would ease pressure on the chart and offer room for a relief bounce.

Momentum Indicators Present a Mixed Picture

Momentum signals remain split. The weekly RSI is forming a hidden bullish divergence, with price holding higher lows even as the indicator trends lower. Such a pattern can precede short-term rebounds, although confirmation typically requires a reclaim of resistance.

At the same time, sentiment remains cautious. BTC flows have slowed, leverage has reset, and weekend liquidity remains thin—conditions that often amplify volatility.

Weekend Focus: Weekly Close and Volume

With no major macro events scheduled, traders are likely to focus on technical levels and order-flow shifts. A decisive break below $93,900–$92,800 could trigger further selling, while holding this range through Sunday’s close would keep BTC’s broader structure intact.

Altcoin performance may also guide sentiment, particularly if Ethereum continues to track BTC’s weakness.
