Prices have been bouncing between $61,000 and $104,000 for about seven months. That range looks a lot like the $31,000\u2013$64,000 sideways move before the sharp drop in early 2022. Traders and analysts are split over whether history is about to repeat itself or if fresh demand will keep Bitcoin aloft.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Price Stuck In Familiar Range<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to reports, Bitcoin\u2019s stretch from $61k to $104k mirrors the 2020\u20132021 \u201cdistribution zone\u201d when it traded between $31,000 and $64,000 for nearly a year. Back then, the slide came fast: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin<\/a> peaked around $69,000 in November 2021, then sank to roughly $15,600 by November 2022. That was a nearly 78% plunge.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Breakouts Keep Falling Flat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on analysis from Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, Bitcoin tried and failed to stay above the $106k level this month. His chart showed a quick rejection at that barrier, triggering long\u2011side liquidations. The price slipped back to the $104k\u2013$105k zone after the failed push higher. Traders see each unsuccessful breakout as a warning sign of distribution.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">November 2021 all over again? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lIA6QFhD9S\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/lIA6QFhD9S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterLBrandt\/status\/1933943389243703653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-771911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/A_13dafc.png?resize=1024%2C588\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"588\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Risk Of Steep Slide<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to veteran trader Peter Brandt, strong fundamentals often shine brightest right before a market top. He pointed out that if today\u2019s setup leads to a similar 78% drop from the $105k band, Bitcoin could fall toward $23,600. His simple math recalls last cycle\u2019s move from around $69k down to $15,500.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Growing Demand Meets Technical Barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on reports of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/bitcoin-etf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">spot ETFs<\/a> and growing buys by institutions and governments, some believe the floor is firmer now. Huge investment flows into Bitcoin have never been higher. Yet technical hurdles remain. The inability to clear $105k makes some analysts cautious.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/nc1YPzu4\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"884\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Long Term Signals Still Bullish<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trader Tardigrade noted that Bitcoin\u2019s 50\u2011day and 200\u2011day simple moving averages recently formed a golden cross. In past cycles, that pattern led to gains of 50%, 125%, and 65%.

On one side, pattern watchers warn of a big drop if support breaks. On the other, strong hands from big players may cushion any slide and spark a rally. Investors should keep an eye on $104k\u2013$105k for signs of weakness or strength.<\/p>\n<p>A break below could open the door to a move toward $23,500. Conversely, a clean break above $106k might signal the next leg up. Regardless, volatility looks set to stay high, so risk management remains key.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Imagen, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is at a crossroads again.
