$68,000 has been identified as a critical support level for Bitcoin BTC/USD, following its surge to a new all-time high on election night.
What Happened: In a comprehensive breakdown of Bitcoin’s performance over the past seven months, crypto trader Scient identified two similar structures within this period: a bearish and a bullish structure.
He noted that the first, bearish range formed a high at $73,800 and lows at $59,000. After sweeping the lows at $59,000, it failed to reclaim the demand at this level, resulting in a breakdown and formation of a new low at $53,300.
The second range, bullish in nature, had highs at $70,000 and lows at $53,300. Respecting these lows, it swept the $53,300 lows, followed by a successful retest of the $53,300 lows to confirm the support. This resulted in a bounce and reclaiming of the demand at lows, confirming the strength of the market.
Scient asserts that Bitcoin's current one-day chart remains robust, with $68,000 acting as a crucial support. However, he warns that a break below this could lead to renewed market uncertainty.
Echoing Scient's analysis, crypto trader Pentoshi expressed confidence in Bitcoin’s momentum, anticipating a rally beyond $100,000 in the coming months:
