Summer Markets Could be Bearish; Bitcoin Enters Now-or-Never Trade-Here’s What’s Next for BTC Price?

Bitcoin continues to maintain its upward trend ever since the token has bounced off above the $75,000 mark. The price is currently consolidating around $95,000, flashing a possibility of a breakout, which could lead to further growth, but there is still a risk of a short-term correction. The current trade setup suggests the price has been closely accumulating below a crucial range for more than a week, which has resulted in a huge price action in the recent past. Now that the volatility has dropped significantly, can the BTC price trigger a breakout beyond the pivotal resistance at $96,200?

The BTC price is heading towards the end of the consolidation period as the token continues to remain stuck within an ascending triangle in the short term. The token has held the lower support firmly, hinting towards a potential breakout. Meanwhile, the technicals are turning bearish in the long term, which raises concerns over the stability of the rally. 

After breaking from the wedge, the BTC price has reached an important resistance zone and, despite a decent upward pressure, has remained within the zone. However, the price has failed to test the 0.618 FIB at $96,200, which has now become a threshold to achieve. On the other hand, MACD shows a drop in selling pressure, and the levels are heading towards a bearish crossover. 

This may raise alarms, as a drop below the POC zone between $94,000 and $94,675 may bring back the levels close to 0.5 FIB at $92,062. As long as Bitcoin is below 0.618 FIB and the POC on the volume profile, Bitcoin continues to remain in a bear market. Moreover, a Fair Value Gap has been formed around $87,000, which could be filled in the coming days. Hence, the market participants need to be vigilant as the Bitcoin (BTC) price volatility is expected to kick off during the monthly close.
