Bitcoin (BTC) Eyes Big Move to $75,000 If This Plays Out By U.Today

U.Today – Amid heightened anticipation and market activity, (BTC) tested the critical $72,000 resistance level three times in recent weeks. This repeated attempt to breach the formidable barrier has ignited speculation about the potential for a new all-time high (ATH) if the resistance can be decisively broken.

Bitcoin’s recent price action has been characterized by its struggle to break past the $72,000 mark. The $72,000 mark has become a line in the sand for Bitcoin, representing a level of resistance that has been difficult to overcome.

This resistance level has proven to be a significant psychological and technical barrier for traders and investors alike. Each of the three tests of this level was met with strong selling pressure, preventing BTC from making a sustained move higher.

However, should Bitcoin manage to break above this level, it could trigger a short squeeze, potentially catapulting the currency to a new all-time high (ATH) of $75,000.

Market analysts and traders are closely monitoring Bitcoin’s price behavior at this resistance level. The repeated tests suggest building momentum that could potentially lead to a breakout. Historically, such persistence often precedes significant price movements, as resistance levels tend to weaken with each successive test.

Bitcoin requires breach of $72,000

Glassnode cofounders, named Negentropic on X, highlight the significance of BTC testing the $72,000 resistance level thrice. While this remains a formidable barrier, they note that a confirmed break above this key level could push BTC to a new ATH of $75,000.

According to Negentropic, the $72,000-$74,000 range is marked by high supply and selling pressure. A sudden breach here could trigger a short squeeze, propelling BTC to unprecedented heights.

In the very short term, the chances for Bitcoin range trading remain, with prices expected to range between $64,000 and $72,000. This consolidation phase might give altcoins a chance to shine.

At the time of writing, BTC was down 0.60% in the last 24 hours to $68,191 after dipping to lows of $67,437, as fears arose over the recent Mt. Gox-Era Bitcoin shift.
