Bitcoin Nears $76,000 Target Amid Price Correction — But Will This Support Hold?
Over the past week, Bitcoin has experienced a strong market correction with prices falling as low as $80,000. Based on a double top formation, Bitcoin is expected to head to $76,000 before re-establishing an uptrend. However, market analyst Cryptododo7 has indicated the possibility of a lower market bottom.
Bitcoin Bears In Control: Will $67,000 Emerge As Ultimate Support Level?
The Bitcoin market fell under siege in the last week with total liquidations reaching $670 million. During this period, the assets crashed by over 15% from an opening market price of $95,000 confirming the formation of a double-top pattern.
For context, the double top is a bearish reversal chart pattern that appears after an uptrend. It consists of two peaks at a similar price level, separated by a pullback. This formation is well represented by Bitcoin’s price at $108,000 in December and $109,000 in January separated by the price correction in late December.
Amid the falling prices in the past week, Bitcoin dipped below the double top neckline level at $91,500 confirming a price reversal. In accordance with the bearish signal, Bitcoin is expected to return to $76,000 around which it embarked on its price rally to its initial peak at $108,000.
However, Cryptododo7 explains there is potential for BTC to rapidly drop to its maximum Fibonacci level at $67,000 which would serve as the support level with no further downside. In gauging the eventual ultimate Bitcoin support level, Cryptododo7 notes that market reaction at $73,000-$76,000 will be quite important as strong buying pressure at this level could result in a sharp price rebound.
BTC Active Addresses Rise Amid Price Fall
In other news, blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock reports that the number of Bitcoin active addresses is increasing despite the ongoing price fall. Notably, this metric has reached its highest daily level since December 2024 suggesting a significant surge in on-chain activity.
Historically, such developments usually occur at major market turning points i.e. either peaks driven by new entrants rush or bottoms due to panic selling and opportunistic buyers. According to IntoTheBlock, this surge in on-chain activity could indicate that the BTC market could be at a crucial turning point, however, investors should note that no single metric guarantees a price reversal.
At press time, BTC trades at $84,961 with a 2.54% increase in the past day. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is up by 13.69% and valued at $71.43 billion.
