Bitcoin Retests $110K As Spot Bias Neutralizes And Breakout Looms

Key Insights:

  • Bitcoin shows potential for a breakout above $130,000 following its retest at $110,000
  • The BTC price setup on the MVRV chart appears bullish
  • Bitcoin CVD retest from its strong dominance seen in April

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is at a critical juncture as it retests the $110,000 resistance levels. This price retest comes amid a reset of spot market bias, which shows a neutralized market.

Analysts are pointing to key technical indicators signaling strength. These patterns suggest that a potential breakout in the Bitcoin price is approaching.

Bitcoin Historic Breakout Pattern

Market analyst Merlijn Trader on X highlighted a recurring Bitcoin price breakout pattern during bull cycles. This pattern shows BTC in a rejection phase, before breaking out, retesting, and finally a strong upward move. This is the cycle: rejection, breakout, retest, and uptrend.

In the rejection phase, the Bitcoin price approaches a key resistance level. However, it fails to break through, igniting a pullback or consolidation. This phase signals temporary weakness or profit-taking.

After the rejection, Bitcoin eventually surpasses the resistance level with strong momentum. This breakout confirms bullish strength. Following the breakout, Bitcoin’s price often pulls back to test the previous resistance level, which now acts as support.

Bitcoin is currently in the retest phase around $110,000 following a breakout above a previous resistance level. If BTC follows the historic move, Merlijn claims a successful retest above $110,000 will confirm a breakout above $130,000.

BTC price hovered around $109,810 at press time, down 2.8% over the previous day. Investor activity is gradually returning, as indicated by the daily trading volume. Over the past 24 hours, the trading volume has experienced a 1.6% surge to $64.9 billion.

Bitcoin Shows Momentum on the MVRV Chart

Another analyst, known as AK47 on X, has also hinted at a bullish Bitcoin rally. The analyst spotlighted a chart that revealed BTC hit the lower Bollinger Band on the MVRV chart at $109,000.

Notably, the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio compares the market cap of BTC to its realized cap. Essentially, this metric assesses whether Bitcoin is overvalued or undervalued.

Meanwhile, Bollinger Bands are volatility-based indicators. The lower band often signals an oversold condition or a potential reversal point.

AK47 emphasized that the current BTC price setup on the MVRV chart appears bullish. The analyst said a similar setup occurred in April at $74,000.

At the time, Bitcoin touched the lower Bollinger Band on the MVRV chart and subsequently rallied by over 51%. The analyst is optimistic that this pattern will repeat in the current cycle.

Bitcoin CVD Turns Neutral at $111,000

Amid the bullish price prediction, the CVD of Bitcoin across major spot venues has reverted to neutral. According to insight from CryptoRus, the retest indicates a shift from April’s strong buyer dominance.

This development suggests that conviction among spot market participants near $111,000 is waning. This could indicate consolidation at these levels.

CVD measures the market’s net buying or selling pressure by tracking the difference between buy and sell order volumes. A neutral CVD indicates balanced buying and selling activity, while a positive or negative CVD suggests buyer or seller dominance.

Thus, the latest CV value at neutral hints at increased volatility or a consolidation phase. If spot participants continue to lose conviction near $111,000, the market may see increased profit-taking or reduced inflows.

However, a neutral CVD may indicate that aggressive selling pressure has subsided. This sets the stage for a new wave of buying. This is, however, dependent on the emergence of positive catalysts.

Meanwhile, analysts believe the next altcoin season lurks, particularly as the Bitcoin Bull Score Index falls to 20. However, the latest data indicates a balance between buyers and sellers.

It could foreshadow increased volatility or a consolidation phase. For instance, spot participants losing conviction near $111K might lead to profit-taking or reduced inflows, impacting overall market sentiment.
