BTC just broke out: Is the $70,000 area the next buying opportunity?
Bitcoin just had quite an interesting movement after breaking the descending wedge structure that had formed over the previous weeks. As I shared in yesterday's livestream, this breakout is an important signal indicating that the market may be transitioning from a consolidation phase to a new upward trend in the short term.
When looking at the price structure, we can clearly see that Bitcoin has been compressed multiple times in the falling wedge pattern before the buying pressure was finally strong enough to push the price above the resistance line of the pattern.
This is often a fairly positive technical signal because a falling wedge often acts as a bullish reversal pattern.
However, after a breakout, the market rarely moves straight in one direction. In most cases, there will be a retest of the previous breakout zone before continuing the trend.
That is why the area $BTC $70,000 is becoming an important zone that I am monitoring. Personally, I also set a buying zone around $70,000 for the scenario of price returning to test support.
If the price maintains its structure in this area, it could become a launching pad for the next upward move. In a positive scenario, Bitcoin can definitely target the area of $78,000 – $80,000, which is the next resistance zone on the chart and also an area that could attract quite a bit of liquidity from the derivatives market.
Nevertheless, you should also remember that the crypto market is always highly volatile. A breakout is just a probabilistic signal, not a guarantee. Managing risk and maintaining trading discipline is still more important than trying to predict every market movement.
