Amid the tension in the Iran-Israel conflict, the cryptocurrency
market experienced another daily pullback. Bitcoin (BTC), which had
just recovered from Friday’s drop, erased its recent gains and
recorded a 4.5% dip to the $103,000 mark in the past 24 hours.
However, some analysts believe that the flagship crypto is
preparing for a big move in the coming weeks. Related Reading:

Monday, Bitcoin attempted to break its post-November range high but
failed to hold the $108,000-$109,000 area as support for the fourth
time in a month, falling back into its larger range. Market watcher
Daan Crypto Trades noted that this resistance level remains a key
area to watch, adding that “without a clean break above, it’s not
the time to get excited just yet.” Nonetheless, the trader
considers that the BTC is “setting up for a large move” as the
cryptocurrency continues to hold its monthly range between $100,000
and $110,000. He asserted that this range will break “at some point
in June,” as well as the current weekly high and low, which have “a
very low probability of being held” in the coming days. Daan added
that a break from these levels is highly possible in the next 1-2
weeks, likely leading to a big move in the direction of the break.
Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted the crypto market’s
performance and investors’ concerns amid the war-related headlines,
noting that Bitcoin reacted in a similar pattern during past
geopolitical and crypto-related events. According to the analyst,
global events’ uncertainty has led to mass liquidation and on-chain
panic multiple times since 2020, leading to 30%-50% crashes.
However, the market has recovered from these events after
significant accumulation. Here’s the pattern: Big event (Black
Swan). Panic headlines. Sharp BTC dump. Retail Panic sells. Smart
money buys. Time passes. Bitcoin hits new highs. Based on this,
Sjuul forecasted a strong Bitcoin pump and a new all-time high
(ATH) once the current war tensions are over. BTC Holds Key Support
Amid Pullback Meanwhile, analyst Rekt Capital emphasized that
Bitcoin has been retesting its old range high as support for the
past six weeks and showing stability around the $104,400 level
during this period. According to the analyst, as long as BTC’s
price Weekly Closes above this level, the candle wicks below it are
“just noise” and it is positioned to transition into its Second
Price Discovery Uptrend. He also pointed out that the
cryptocurrency has only seen a less than 10% dip during the recent
pullbacks. Moreover, these drop depths have also been diminishing,
with the first rejection producing a 7.72% drop and the second dip
being 5.79% deep, while the current rejection has seen a 4.5%
retrace so far. Rekt Capital considers the strongest support to be
between the $102,000-$104,000 area, and the final level to break is
the range high resistance of $108,890. Related Reading: XRP Must

as this resistance isn’t rejecting price too much, then maybe it’s
getting weaker over time,” he affirmed, concluding that a weekly
close above this level would be “a very strong sign for a reclaim
of this resistance into new support to springboard price higher.”
