• Speculation about potential breakout scenarios if certain resistance levels are cleared.
• Notable double bottom pattern forming, which could indicate a reversal if confirmed.

Potential Scenarios

• Bullish Scenario: Clearing trendlines and moving averages could trigger a breakout. Signals turning bullish suggest potential for a rally.
• Bearish Scenario: Failure to clear resistance may lead to further pullback and a possible drop to key support levels such as $74,000.

Technical Indicators

• RSI: Above the 50-level indicates bullish sentiment, but faces resistance around this level.
• MACD: Needs to enter positive territory for bullish confirmation.
• Oscillator and Impulse Line: Indicate shifting momentum; possible early signs of trend reversal.

Resistance and Support Levels

• Major support around $74,000 and $88,000 levels.
• Potential for Bitcoin to rise above $100,000 if technical signals confirm a bullish trend.

Market Analysis

• A potential pullback could result in a higher low, or market may consolidate before moving higher.
• Watching for confirmation of a double bottom pattern, which would validate a move higher.

Conclusion
