Bitcoin has officially lost the $74K support zone, with price now trading around $73.6K. When a major daily support breaks like this, the next move usually comes down to one key question:
Does BTC reclaim $74K quickly (false breakdown)? Or does $74K flip into resistance (breakdown continuation)? This is the decision point.
The plan now is not guessing bottoms it’s waiting for confirmation. What This Breakdown Means
$74K was a major daily decision level where buyers defended aggressively. Once it breaks:
Stops trigger below the range Liquidity gets swept Price often retests the broken level from below And $74K usually turns into resistance This is classic bear market structure Key Levels to Watch Now
The first support zone where a short-term bounce can happen is around:
$73.3K–$73.6K
If selling continues, the next downside magnet levels are:
$72K $70K (big psychological level) $68K–$67K $64K–$65K $60K only if panic expands The main resistance zone now is: $74K–$75K If BTC cannot reclaim this area, bears stay in control. Two High-Probability Scenarios Scenario A Breakdown Continuation (Most Common) What you’ll likely see: Price bounces slightly Returns to $74K Gets rejected with lower highs Drops toward $72K → $70K Best plan: Wait for a retest of $74K from below. If you see rejection (wick, weak close, lower-high), that’s the classic continuation signal. Bear confirmation:
4H/Daily closes staying below $74K Red volume spikes Price remaining under key moving averages Scenario B False Breakdown (Bull Trap for Shorts) What you’ll likely see: Price dips below $74K Quick reclaim back above $74K–$75K Support flip holds Bounce begins Best plan Don’t chase the first green candle. Wait for a daily close back above $74K, then a pullback that holds. Upside targets if reclaimed: $78K–$80K $82K–$84K $88K–$92K
Simple Trade Checklist If you’re bearish: Best setup: $74K retest → rejectionInvalidation: daily close holding above $75KTargets: $72K → $70K → $68K
If you’re bullish: Best setup: reclaim $74K–$75K → holdInvalidation: losing $73.3K againTargets: $78K → $82K → $88K
If you’re neutral or spot holding: Reduce leverage exposureScale entries only at strong supportsAvoid buying mid-drop without confirmation
What Matters in the Next 24–72 Hours Daily close location: Below $74K = bearish control Above $74K and holding = false break risk Retest behavior: Rejection = continuation Support flip = recovery attempt
Volume and liquidations: High sell volume = stronger downside Long squeezes can push price lower for Bottom Line BTC is now in a post-support-break zone The key battlefield is $74K: Below $74K with rejection → likely continuation toward $72K and $70K Reclaim $74K–$75K and hold → false breakdown and bounce potential Stay patient. Trade the confirmation, not the emotion. Not financial advice. #TrumpProCrypto #GoldSilverRebound #VitalikSells #StrategyBTCPurchase #AISocialNetworkMoltbook
January closed as the lowest monthly close on $SOL since April 2024.
I’m only interested in buying Solana if price either reclaims this broken level or drops much lower into deeper support.
This is the monthly chart, so short-term bounces will happen, but as long as SOL is trading below the broken lows, the risk of further downside remains.
$GAS is looking ready for a breakout. Momentum is building, and if price confirms the breakout, we could see a strong pump from here. This is a good one to watch for both spots and futures.
Crypto Bear Market May Be Nearing the End, Analysts Say $60K Could Be the Key Floor
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market may be getting close to the bottom of this downturn, according to analysts at Compass Point. They believe that while short-term risk is still slightly to the downside, the market is now entering the final phase of the bear cycle
However, they also noted that a much deeper drop would likely require a major risk-off event in U.S. equities.
$60K–$68K Seen as Strong Bottom Zone
Compass Point’s base case expects Bitcoin to bottom between $60,000 and $68,000, with the strongest support near $65,000.
This range matters because long-term holders have historically accumulated heavily here.
Analysts pointed out that around 7% of long-term holder supply was acquired in this zone, showing strong conviction from patient buyers in past cycles.
ETF Outflows Are Adding Pressure
Bitcoin recently broke below $81,000 and fell as low as $74,500 over the weekend. Analysts said this area reflects the average cost basis for both ETF investors and the broader market. Since January 15, Bitcoin ETFs have reportedly seen nearly $3 billion in net outflows, and with more than half of ETF assets now underwater, outflows could remain elevated. They also warned that the $81K–$83K zone may now act as overhead resistance.
The $70K–$80K Zone Is an “Air Pocket”
Compass Point described the price range between $70,000 and $80,000 as an “air pocket,” meaning there is little structural support in that region. Less than 1% of long-term holder supply was acquired there, which could allow price to slide faster if selling pressure continues.
What If $60K Breaks?
If Bitcoin falls through the $60K–$68K support zone, analysts say the next major level could be around $55,000. But they emphasized that this would likely require extreme conditions, similar to 2022 when an equity bear market and major crypto bankruptcies pushed BTC below its average cost basis.
Final Thoughts
Compass Point’s message is clear: the bear market may be entering its final innings, and the $60K–$68K range could be the key long-term floor. Further downside is possible, but a major breakdown would likely need broader financial stress, especially in U.S. equities. Stay cautious, watch support zones, and manage risk.
Michael Saylor has spent nearly $50 billion over the last 5 years buying Bitcoin, and now he’s sitting underwater.
Adjusted for inflation, he’s down around $10 billion.
The bigger issue is that a large part of these BTC purchases were made using borrowed money and that debt has to be paid back. This is where things can get very messy, very fast.
I talked about this more than a month ago and warned about the risks. People like this create centralization, which goes against Bitcoin’s original purpose.
When leverage and concentration build up too much, the system becomes fragile.
I’ll keep you updated over the next few months.
And when I start buying Bitcoin again, I’ll say it here publicly.
A lot of people are going to regret ignoring these warnings.

GOLD Option View Market Pricing Spike Risk, Not a Sustained Rally
Current gold options data suggests the market is not positioning for a strong breakout higher. Instead, traders are mainly pricing in the risk of a short-term upside spike driven by headlines or macro events.
Front-month implied volatility remains elevated around 70–77%, showing that participants are staying defensive ahead of potential event risk.
Out-of-the-money calls in the 4,900–5,100 zone are still richly priced, which signals continued demand for upside tail-risk protection. However, the upside skew is concentrated in the far tail rather than spread across the curve, suggesting this is more hedging activity than directional conviction.
In simple terms, the options market is buying protection against a sudden spike into the 4,900–5,100 range, not actively positioning to push price toward that level.
Key implications from the structure The probability of a sharp upside spike is not high, but the impact would be significant if it occurs. There is no clear evidence of aggressive selling pressure on pullbacks.
Sensitivity to macro, policy, and headline risk remains elevated. Near-term risk tilts mildly to the upside, but within a broader range-bound framework. Gold may see short-term upside spikes driven by event risk, but the options market is primarily pricing tail risk rather than confirming a sustained move toward the 4,900–5,100 zone. Overall, the structure continues to favor consolidation and range-bound price action.

Bitcoin Price Forecasts Turn Bearish as BTC Follows Old Bear Market Patterns
Bitcoin is once again under heavy pressure, and traders are starting to talk about much lower levels ahead. After losing key support zones, BTC is now trading below $80,000 and market sentiment has turned sharply risk-off. Many analysts believe Bitcoin is copying the same structure seen in previous bear markets.
BTC Stuck Below $80K After Sharp Drop Bitcoin dropped more than 6% in the last session, pushing price down near $77,600 and keeping it at ten-month lows. So far, bulls have failed to recover important levels, and BTC remains weak below the $80,000 mark. The loss of major bull market support zones, including the true market mean around $80,700, has increased bearish expectations.
Traders Now Watching Sub-$50K Targets Some traders are already pointing to deeper downside liquidity zones. One forecast highlighted $74,400 as the next major level, while also naming $49,180 as a possible larger bear market target if the decline continues. This shows how quickly sentiment has shifted after support failed. Loss of the 21-Week EMA Signals Bear Market Risk A key warning sign is Bitcoin breaking below the 21-week exponential moving average. Historically, losing this level has often preceded major bear market phases. Rekt Capital also noted that the current move is repeating past cycles. Since the latest EMA crossover, Bitcoin has already fallen around 17%, dropping from $90,000 to $78,000.
This same crossover pattern last appeared in April 2022 before a prolonged bear market decline. CME Gap Near $84K Could Offer Short-Term Bounce Despite the bearish structure, some traders are watching a CME futures gap near $84,000. CME gaps often act like short-term price magnets, and BTC could attempt a rebound toward that zone in the coming weeks. However, that would likely be temporary relief unless major support is reclaimed. On-Chain Data Warns of an Extended Bearish Phase CryptoQuant’s latest research also remains risk-off. Bitcoin is now trading below the realized price of investors holding BTC for 12–18 months. Realized price represents the average cost basis where coins last moved. Historically, when BTC breaks below this level and stays there, markets often shift from normal corrections into structural bearish regimes. CryptoQuant noted that realized price is now acting as overhead resistance, meaning rallies may fail as holders sell at breakeven. The combination of price below realized cost, negative profitability, and slowing growth has aligned with extended bearish phases in past cycles. Bitcoin is losing key support, technical levels are breaking, and on-chain structure is weakening.
While a short-term bounce toward $84K is possible, the broader trend is still bearish, and analysts are now discussing deeper downside levels even sub-$50K scenarios if history continues to repeat. Stay cautious. Manage risk. Not financial advice.
$PORTO just printed a strong bullish breakout candle with heavy volume.
Price pushed sharply above the recent consolidation zone and is now trading around 1.16. This looks like a momentum expansion after a long sideways phase.
Key Levels to Watch
Support Zone: 1.05 – 1.08
Breakout Area: 1.12 – 1.16
Targets if momentum holds:
TP1: 1.25
TP2: 1.35
TP3: 1.50+ (if breakout continues)
This move is supported by strong volume and reclaiming moving averages, which could signal the start of a bigger upside push.
Confirmation will come if PORTO holds above the 1.12 zone on the next candles.
