Bitcoin Bull Market Remains Intact Unless This Support Breaks – Analyst

Popular crypto analyst Tony Severino has shared a bold take on the current Bitcoin (BTC) market structure. The chartered market technician has stated that the Bitcoin bull market remains active unless the price falls below a specific level. 

Notably, Bitcoin saw a heavy correction after hitting a peak price of $109,000 in January. Over the last three months, the premier cryptocurrency has traded as low as $74,000, representing a devaluation of over 32.5%. Although there has been a notable price bounce in April, an ever-present market uncertainty means speculation remains abound on the viability of the present bull cycle.

$49,000 As Key Price Level For Bitcoin – Here’s Why

In an X post on April 18, Severino has identified the $49,000 price region as the make-or-break zone for the Bitcoin market.  With the help of a weekly trading chart, Severino highlights that Bitcoin remains on an ascending trendline stretching as far back as Q3 2023. 

An ascending trendline represents a sustained uptrend in price action, typically confirmed by the formation of successive higher highs and higher lows. It typically demonstrates a persistent buying pressure and sufficient underlying demand, thus ensuring a prolonged price rally.

Generally, the higher lows reflect the strength of an ascending trend. Therefore, any fall below the previous higher low undermines the bullish momentum and indicates a likely change in market sentiment.

 

According to Severino’s chart, the last higher low on Bitcoin’s ascending trendline stands at $49,140. Therefore, this level represents a key support region, any price fall below which would invalidate the present bull run and signal a new market cycle. 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin remains in consolidation trading between $83,000 and $86,000 as seen over the past week. The market appears to be finding stability with accumulation now on the rise. 

Amid the US 90-day pause on new tariffs, the likelihood of a sharp downside catalyst is relatively low. However, the potential for a decisive price breakout remains uncertain, as broader market sentiment continues to face key resistance barriers at $86,000 and $91,000 price regions.

Bitcoin Price Forecast

At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $85,312, reflecting a price gain of 0.91% in 24 hours. Interestingly, the asset’s trading volume is up 19.77% and valued at $15.26 billion.

According to price prediction firm Coincodex, market sentiment among investors is neutral. However, there remains a significant level of caution with the Fear & Greed Index standing at 37. In forecasting Bitcoin fortunes, Coincodex anticipates a full bullish market reversal with projections of $108,296 in five days and $111,236 in a month.
