Bitcoin doesn't want to go anywhere - here's why
Once Bitcoin reached ~100k, it entered a period of sideways movement and seems reluctant to leave this range. This forms a solid base for a market that's gearing up for a strong move, one way or another. The price action is currently punishing both bulls and bears.
Up to 103k, the picture was clear with higher highs and higher lows. But afterward, traders have been getting stopped out on both long and short positions. The first major TRAP occurred when the price fell below the neckline, causing bulls to close their positions, fearing a major drop. Bears, anticipating further decline, shorted the market. However, the price rebounded, closing out early bear positions at the first pain limit (marked on the chart). Just before the weekend, we witnessed another TRAP; the market again dipped below the neckline but then rallied. The second pain limit for short sellers is now evident.
The current situation is intriguing; both bulls and bears might be getting weary, with the CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index confirming a neutral stance. The market has been trading within a range for some time now. The longer this range persists, the more potent the breakout will be.
The neckline has become the WAR FRONT LINE. It's hard to predict the winner, but the good news is it's easy to follow. When the market is above the neckline, bulls are in command (remember, bears are currently trapped!). Once the neckline breaks ($90-91k area), oh boy, bull's pants might be full of...
