Bitcoin Tests Crucial 4-hour Support

On the 4-hour chart, the recent pullback in Bitcoin is testing a crucial support trendline, which forms a rising channel pattern.

The bearish correction began with a double-top pattern near $72,700. After facing rejection above the $73,000 mark, the neckline of the bearish pattern was established at $71,600.

Following this double-top breakout, the BTC price has returned to the support trendline near the 38.20% trend-based Fibonacci retracement level within the rising channel. Currently, it is finding support, as indicated by a lower price rejection, hinting at a potential bullish comeback.

However, Bitcoin must surpass the 50% Fibonacci level at $70,310 for a sustained recovery. A successful bullish recovery could see Bitcoin challenge the peak of the double top at $72,700. Conversely, a drop below the support trendline could trigger a significant sell-off in Bitcoin.

The next crucial support levels to watch in case of a decline are $67,500 and the $65,000 mark.

Analyst Ali Martinez Targets $78k

Despite the sudden crash, widely followed crypto analyst Ali Martinez retweeted his recent analysis, which predicted a minor pullback to $69,000. Highlighting the number 69 in his recent tweet, Martinez reiterated an analysis that revealed if Bitcoin stood above $65,000, a price jump to $72,000 was possible.

However, he also highlighted that a pullback to $69,000 is possible before starting a bullish trend to $78,000. As the first three variables of Martinez’s prediction stand true, is the next potential target for Bitcoin standing at the $78,000 mark?

Well, the trend-based Fibonacci levels in the 4-hour chart predict the next all-time high near $75,620. Meanwhile, an extended rally could target $82,183, or the 161.80% Fibonacci level.
