Bitcoin analysis – Can BTC Price Hold Gains?
4 min readThe course correction appears to have been overcome. After the successful retest of the cross support from Golden Pocket and the moving average of the last 200 trading days (EMA200), the bulls took heart and heaved the Bitcoin price north by a remarkable 10 percentage points in the middle of the week. The uncertainties surrounding Binance and the stablecoin BUSD have been pushed into the background for the time being. According to Binance itself, it only expects a fine to get rid of the ongoing investigations by various US authorities. Aside from increased bitcoin (BTC) short liquidations of around $80 million in the last 24 hours of trading, positive developments in the Far East could have fueled price jump.
Then according to blockworks.co Hong Kong’s small investors can officially trade in cryptocurrencies again from June 1, 2023 – a possible trading place for Chinese investors who are prohibited from crypto trading in the People’s Republic.

Bullish price targets: 24,925 USD, 25,214/25,338 USD, USD 26,500, USD 27,682/USD 28,089 USD, 28,740/29,232 USD, 30,000 USD, 30,656 USD, 31,754 USD, 32.403/32.938 USD
Bitcoin: Bullish price targets for the coming trading weeks
The last Bitcoin price jump may have surprised many market participants. The movement was hardly to be expected in view of the latest news and the rising inflation rate in the USA. From a purely technical point of view, however, the Bitcoin price has bullishly confirmed its breakout above the red downtrend line in the last seven trading days and is turning north almost exactly to the dollar at the EMA200 (blue). Starting from the strong purple support zone, the bulls were able to push bitcoin price back above the previously broken green support area.
Since then, the Bitcoin price has been consolidating back to the red breakout area of the historical highs from January 2023. In the short term, the bulls must now do everything possible to ensure that Bitcoin does not sustainably correct below the $ 23,824 mark. At the latest, if the USD 23,290 were broken, Bitcoin would be caught again in the range of the previous weeks. The moving average lines EMA50 and EMA200 in the weekly chart also run in the area of yesterday’s daily high and represent a massive resistance mark for the time being.
Bearish Targets: 24,269 USD 23,824 USD, 23,290 USD, 22.610/22.310 USD, 21,927, 21,365 USD, 20,897 USD, 20,666 USD, 20,370 USD, 19,703 USD, 19.363/19.109 USD
Bearish bitcoin price targets
Bears was succeed in a timely counterattack and Bitcoin falls back below the red support area, a sell-off of up to US$ 23,290 can be expected. If this price mark is also abandoned, the green support zone will come back into the eyes of investors. At $22,610, the Golden Pocket is the first important price target for the seller side. Bitcoin would then be caught again in the range of the last few weeks. If the BTC price then folds back below $ 22,310, that would be interpreted bearishly. Then an extension of the consolidation up to the super trend in the daily chart at 21,927 US dollars is to be planned.
If Bitcoin does not turn north here either, a retest of the low from the beginning of the week at US$ 21,366 is increasingly conceivable. A break of the purple support zone would cloud the chart further and extend the corrective move to $20,666. The red overriding downward trend line can currently also be found in the turquoise zone. The bulls should not give up this area if possible. A fall below the Jan. 18 low of $20,370 would trigger further sell-off.
There is a risk of falling back below $20,000
If the bears stay in control and Bitcoin slips below the turquoise zone by the end of the day, the next price target is $19,703. However, this support should only last for a short time. A correction extension to the yellow support area between US$19,363 and US$19,109 is more likely. With the golden pocket of the correction movement starting from the high for the year in combination with a so-called high volume node, the bulls are likely to start a countermovement again. This zone therefore represents the next relevant price target for the bears.
BTC price should quickly return after dipping into the pink zone rally north above $18,366. Otherwise, the bullish market momentum threatens to topple. This would most likely result in a relapse to the low of 2022 or even below.
