Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim a crucial level as support, which could propel its price to its local range high. A market watcher suggests that this week’s performance could set the tone for the rest of the month.

Bitcoin Retest Eyes Massive Rally

After losing the $106,800 level last week, Bitcoin has been trying to reclaim this crucial area as support. This recently lost level served as a key support for BTC following its rally to a new all-time high (ATH), with its price hovering between $106,800 and $109,700 before the market retracement.

However, the flagship crypto dropped over 8% from its $111,980 high amid last week’s pullback, hitting a 10-day low near the $102,000 support over the weekend. This week, BTC has recovered the $105,000 range and surged above the $106,500 mark before being rejected from the crucial horizontal level on Tuesday morning.

Despite the recent performance, Bitcoin recorded its highest monthly close in history, after ending May at $104,591, and remains within its local range between $103,000 and $110,000.

Analyst Crypto Jelle noted that as the cryptocurrency tries to reclaim the $105,000-$106,000 area, the 1.618 Fibonacci level suggests the next target sits around the $130,000 barrier.

Moreover, he highlighted Bitcoin’s performance this cycle, pointing out that it is displaying a similar performance to its Q4 2024 rally. Notably, the cryptocurrency recorded a trend breakout, followed by a “post-breakout chop” before surging to new highs.

Jelle suggested that Bitcoin is in the second stage, after recently breaking out of its early 2025 downtrend line. He also affirmed that Bitcoin’s Power of 3 (Po3) setup is “still in play” despite the rally pause, targeting the $140,000-$150,000 level during the formation’s price expansion phase.

Based on this formation, the cryptocurrency only has “one last speed bump,” reclaiming the previous ATH levels, before surging to a new high.

BTC’s Direction To Be Determined Soon?

Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades affirmed that the cryptocurrency will likely have an “interesting” week and month ahead, as its sideways move has allowed for “a ton of positions that have built up on both sides.”

According to the trader, this suggests there will be “a lot of fuel when price starts trending and breaks out of this local consolidation.”

Previously, he asserted that BTC tends to set the monthly high or low during the first week of the month, followed by a reversal in the other direction and a trend continuation until the new month.

Based on this, he considers that if Bitcoin doesn’t hold the current levels in the coming days, it could drop below the $100,000 mark, near the $98,000 support zone, before bouncing.

On the contrary, a significant price jump this week could indicate a price retest of the range lows during the rest of the month.

As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $105,889, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
