Bitcoin's price fluctuated upwards over the weekend, reaching a recent high of nearly $105,000. Analyst Rekt Capital stated that the key weekly closing price for
Bitcoin is approximately $104,500, which must be converted into a support level. Analysts believe that
Bitcoin is on the verge of starting a second round of price discovery and an upward trend. The key lies in whether
Bitcoin can close above the upper boundary of its recently regained reaccumulation zone this week. Market data shows that liquidity is currently concentrated near the current price, with $106,000 becoming the next key resistance level. However, some traders remain cautious about the short-term trend, fearing that the current rise may be a "false breakout," with the price potentially falling back to $102,000 or lower.
