Amid the drop, an analyst shared his \u201ccautiously bullish\u201d outlook for BTC\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bitcoin Risks Crash To $74,000<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Tuesday, Bitcoin dropped below $97,000, dragging the market into the first pullback of the year. BTC began 2025 trading around the $92,000 level but climbed around 6.5% in the following days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">After turning the $98,000 resistance into support over the weekend, Bitcoin jumped back above $100,000, reaching its highest price in weeks. However, BTC struggled to maintain this key support zone, dipping 3% in an hour yesterday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cryptocurrency has dropped another 2.5% in the past day, falling as low as $94,500 on Wednesday morning. Since then, BTC has hovered between $94,800 and $95,600, briefly testing the $96,000 resistance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crypto analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1877007033544724711\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">examined<\/a> BTC\u2019s recent performance. In an X threat, the analyst noted that Bitcoin had \u201cbreached the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders pattern\u201d on Monday, invalidating the bearish setup pattern.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-672849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ggck7IoWcAAQ_rN-2.jpeg?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C579\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"860\" height=\"579\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the reversal \u201cerased those gains, dragging BTC back below the right shoulder and reigniting bearish concerns,\u201d as this pattern could trigger a correction to at least $78,000. Martinez also pointed out that Bitcoin has fallen below a key demand zone, between $95,400 and $98,400, where 1.77 million addresses acquired over 1.53 million BTC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The analyst suggested the price drop could force these holders to \u201csell some BTC to cut potential losses.\u201d He also noted there isn&#8217;t significant resistance ahead for the flagship crypto, with only a minimal supply wall of 107,000 BTC between $104,700 and $105,770.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nonetheless, the analyst warned that a surge in selling pressure that pushes the cryptocurrency below the $92,000 mark \u201ccould spell trouble,\u201d as it would open \u201cthe door to a steep drop, with little support until $74,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTherefore, the current market conditions, from a macro perspective, are reigniting fears of a potential Bitcoin crash,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">BTC Price Set To Bounce Soon?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The analyst also shared a \u201ccautiously bullish\u201d outlook for BTC from a technical perspective. Martinez pointed out that TD Sequential presented a buy signal on Bitcoin\u2019s 4-hour chart, suggesting a potential price rebound if the price can hold the $93,500 support zone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, he highlighted that traders on Binance \u201care leaning bullish on Bitcoin,\u201d as \u00a061.28% of all traders on the crypto exchange with open positions are betting that the price will go up.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez also noted that $35 million would be liquidated if BTC\u2019s price rebounds to $98,600, suggesting that market makers \u201cmay try to grab\u201d it. Similarly, there\u2019s another $66 million liquidation zone above $103,300.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the analyst emphasized that Bitcoin must reclaim the $100,000 support to invalidate the bearish outlook and \u201cset its sights on new all-time highs.\u201d Martinez concluded that BTC could rebound to $98,600 in the short term, but \u201cthe macro suggests caution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,500, a 3.3% retrace in the daily timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-672840\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BTCUSDT_2025-01-08_12-03-46.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C460\" alt=\"Bitcoin, BTC, BTCUSDT\" width=\"860\" height=\"460\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The market\u2019s New Year rebound turned into a start-of-year retrace after Bitcoin (BTC) dropped from the recently reclaimed $100,000 support into the $94,000 territory.
