Bitcoin Breaks Out of Pattern, Targeting $96,200 to $102,100 Range

Bitcoin has broken out of a descending broadening wedge formation, signaling potential movement toward a test zone between $96,200 and $102,100. Confirmation of this breakout could lead to new highs or a rejection at these levels.

Key Developments

  • Bitcoin recently returned to $85,000 amid rising buying pressure.
  • The breakout above the upper trendline may indicate strong upward momentum if validated.
  • Two daily closes above the trendline were noted, with confirmation expected this week.
  • The target range of $96,200 to $102,100 is identified as crucial for assessing Bitcoin's strength.

Short Squeeze Potential

  • A move to $90,000 could trigger significant liquidations, affecting over $8 billion in short positions.
  • Data shows concentrated short interest below $90,000 across major exchanges like Binance and OKX.
  • A surge past this level could lead to a cascade of liquidations, supporting upward price momentum.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $84,706.
