Bitcoin on the Brink? Must Hit $85K or Fall Flat – Crypto Veteran Warns!

Veteran Crypto Trader Warns <a href="https://jpyxx.com/btc-usd/">Bitcoin</a> Now Facing Big Resistance, Says <a href="https://bbg-news.com/btc-usd/">BTC</a> Must Breach Key Level To Confirm Bottom

A cryptocurrency analyst with a good track record of predicting Bitcoin’s movements believes the price could quickly fall after briefly reaching $70,000 again.

A popular trader known as Cheds, with over 50,000 YouTube followers, believes Bitcoin is struggling to break through a key price level. He warns that Bitcoin could start falling in value unless it can firmly establish $85,000 as a new low price point.

The analyst thinks if Bitcoin rises above $85,000, it will likely signal a trend reversal, specifically a ‘double-bottom’ pattern, which usually indicates prices will start to go up.

We’ve been tracking this recent price increase and have seen some good gains. We’re noticing a pattern that looks like the letter ‘W,’ which has broken through a previous high. Typically, this would suggest further price increases. However, there’s a potential challenge or resistance level that could get in the way.

For me to think the bottom’s in we need to flip $85,000. I think a weekly close would be logical.”

Bitcoin is trading for $79,402 at time of writing, down 1.5% on the day.

Next up, the analyst says he is turning bearish on Ethereum (ETH) rival Solana (SOL).

SOL recently experienced a significant price increase, reaching a key resistance level. While the stock hasn’t performed well overall, a trade might be possible if it breaks above $95 or $96. However, given the current downward trend and the bounce off resistance, I’d personally consider selling (shorting) the stock at this time.

Solana is trading for $91.17 at time of writing, down 3.7% in the past 24 hours.

He also warns that ETH needs to hold $2,150 as support to avoid a massive collapse.

Ethereum is currently underperforming compared to Bitcoin, as evidenced by their trading pair. It’s struggling to surpass the $2,400 mark. A key support level to watch is $2,150; if it fails to hold, we could see a significant price drop. Therefore, closely monitoring both the $2,150 and $2,400 levels is crucial.

ETH is trading for $2,259 at time of writing, down 1% on the day.
