• Bitcoin sits at a crucial support level, big move could play out soon.

• Analyst expects break above $79,000 for bullish reaction.

• A bearish reaction and a drop below $64,000 could also play out.

This week was an exciting one for the crypto market as traders and analysts were pleased to see the price of Bitcoin (BTC) trading at prices above $70,000. Presently, the price of BTC is trading between $70,000 and $71,000 showing strength at the support level. As Bitcoin sits at a crucial support level, seasoned analysts expect either a bullish outcome with a break above $79,000 or a bearish one with a break below $64,000.

Bitcoin Sits at a Crucial Support Level

The price of the pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), tried to reclaim a critical support line at the $76,000 price range over a week ago. Its failure to break past $74,000 led to a dip in its price instead. Thus, the price of BTC fell to around the $65,000 and has since slowly been recovering to reclaim the targeted support line once again. This next attempt could determine a bullish or bearish outcome for BTC soon.

Presently, analysts are torn between expecting a bullish or bearish breakout from the price of BTC. According to bearish analysts, the price of BTC is destined to bottom in the $40,000 price range sometime this year. However, they do believe a final fake pump is likely to occur, where the price of BTC could pump as far as the $88,000 price range over the coming months, before the bear market bottom pump can play out.

Meanwhile, bullish analysts expect a prolonged bull market caused by the 5-year supercycle theory. This move could propel the price of BTC to much higher ATH targets over the coming months. Some even expect BTC to surge as high as $140,000 or $220,000 by next year. While the timeline seems off, the BTC price chart shows indicators pointing towards both a bullish or a bearish breakout to occur this year.

Analyst Debates Between Bullish and Bearish Possibilities

According to one reputed analyst BTC is still right in the middle of the macro 0.382 and the 0.5 support. She says that even this most recent pump has not defined the path any further and that any movement within this range is just noise. What Bitcoin needs is to break either the 0.382 at $79,000 up, or break that 0.5 support at $64,400 down in order to provide clarity on mid-long term price targets.

Good morning everyone!#BTC is still RIGHT in the middle of the MACRO .382 and the .5 support. Even this most recent pump has NOT defined the path any further. Any movement within this range is just noise. #Bitcoin needs to break either the .382 at ~$79k UP, OR break that .5… pic.twitter.com/fqrTsuXYn4

Additionally, as we can see from the post above, she highlights the larger ABC path labelled and says that a break up would follow the larger ABC up to $93,200 with very bearish mid-term targets, possibly under $30,000 and extend this correction much longer in time. While it’s in this range, the ideal scenario is that BTC breaks down to the lower 0.618 support at $50,000, before breaking up in order for it to gather enough support and momentum to break past the bearish $93,200 resistance and push to a new ATH.
