Red Monday, Green Week? Bitcoin Needs To Reclaim This Level For Trend Continuation – Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped below $95,000 and risks a further decline amid the ongoing market retrace. As February comes to an end, some analysts consider the flagship crypto needs to reclaim some crucial levels to continue its bullish long-term trend.

Bitcoin Sees Monday Bleeding

Over the past three days, Bitcoin has seen its price drop below some key levels, dropping 5.7% From Friday’s highs. Amid the news of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s withdrawal of its crypto case against Coinbase, the largest crypto by market capitalization traded above the $99,000 mark for the first time in two weeks.

However, the positive sentiment quickly vanished after Bybit, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, suffered a $1.5 billion hack that took around 401,347 ETH. As a result, most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, lost their momentary gains.

Since then, the flagship crypto has hovered between the $95,000 and $96,000 zone, briefly nearing the $97,000 resistance on Saturday. On Monday, the correction continued, with BTC dropping below $95,000 and hitting its one-week low at $93,800.

As noted by analyst Jelle, Bitcoin continues to dump on New York markets opening. Per the post, BTC has been retracing from its early Monday recoveries every week after the US market opens, driving its price to a red Monday close several times in the past few months.

Despite these retraces and the recent market corrections, Bitcoin has remained within its post-election range since November, showing minimal volatility. BTC has hovered between the $96,000-$102,000 mid-zone of the range for most of this period.

Amid its recent performance, Altcoin Sherpa pointed out that, excluding February 18, Bitcoin has not closed below its daily support zone in over a month, signaling that BTC needs to close above $95,700 to continue holding this crucial level.

BTC Retests Bullish Flag Breakout

Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that BTC needs a monthly close above $96,000 to continue its bullish long-term trend. In January, the largest crypto registered a historic candle after closing the month above the $100,000 mark for the first time.

This close confirmed Bitcoin’s breakout from its post-election monthly bull flag. However, the recent price action has seen BTC retest its breakout level again, momentarily losing it.

The analyst asserted that the cryptocurrency needs to reclaim and close February above $96,700 “to confirm the breakout & set itself up for trend continuation over time.”

He added that BTC has traded around this key level throughout the majority of February, and continuing to hold it would indicate a “successful post-breakout retest.”

Rekt Capital concluded that BTC’s daily close “isn’t as important as the higher timeframe signal” as the bull flag bottom continues to hold as support “and the three-month trend of a Higher Low at the downside wicks still exists.”

At the time of writing, BTC trades at $94,165, a 2.1% decrease in the daily timeframe.
