Bitcoin Price USD Outlook: Will $100K Hold or Is a Deeper Breakdown Coming?
Bitcoin Price USD Testing Crucial Zone
Bitcoin is currently trading at $104,781, hovering just above its 200 EMA on the 4-hour chart at $104,861. The chart shows BTC consolidating inside a clear descending triangle pattern, with lower highs forming resistance and a flat support zone around $103,343. This setup typically signals a bearish continuation unless a breakout occurs.

Adding to the caution, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 45, suggesting neutral momentum with no clear bullish divergence. The momentum has faded over the past two weeks, and price action remains weak near the triangle’s lower edge.
Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bearish Breakdown or Surprise Reversal?
If the Bitcoin price (USD) fails to hold above $103,343, we could see a quick drop toward the psychological support at $100,000, marked by a clean green line on the chart. This level also aligns with the lower bound of the descending triangle and may serve as the final defense before a larger correction.
Should $100K fail, the next potential support zone is around $97,000–$95,000, opening the door to a possible retest of April breakout levels.
On the flip side, a strong bounce from the 200 EMA or a breakout above the upper triangle trendline (~$107,000–$109,000) could invalidate the bearish setup. In that case, BTC may push to retest $110K and aim for new highs above $112K.
Entry and Exit Setups for Traders
Short Setup (Bearish Bias):
- Entry: On breakdown below $103,300

- Target 1: $109,000
- Target 2: $112,000

The 10-year US Treasury yield approaches 5.4%, with the AI halo unable to hide the "inflated" risks of the S&P 500
Behind the S&P 500's record high, only 30% of its constituent stocks are above their 50-day moving average, marking the narrowest market breadth at a record high since 1990. The Russell 2000 has fallen for five consecutive weeks, and high-yield bond yields have soared to 15%. Societe Generale warns that if US Treasury yields rise to 6% and oil prices reach $150, the S&P 500 could fall by more than 20% next year. In addition, some top-performing fund managers have completely exited AI stocks in favor of energy, stating that once financing dries up, it will be "game over."
Oil tanker freight reaches a sixty-year high: shipping oil from the US to China is more expensive than launching a rocket!
The freight for a single barrel of crude oil has soared to $41, approaching half the oil price, and for a single trip, the freight was once enough to buy an oil tanker. The Middle East crisis has led to a structural shortage of shipping capacity in the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with ship-to-ship transfers extending turnaround times. VLCC freight rates have skyrocketed from an annual average of $9.2 million to $77 million—an increase of more than eight times. Refiners’ profits are being rapidly eroded, the average price of second-hand oil tankers has reached a historic high, and, unusually, surpassed the price of new vessels.
Following the Drop but Not the Rise! Silver Trapped in Difficulties
The logic of AI and solar energy demand continues to play out, yet prices are falling against the trend—macroeconomic forces such as a strengthening US dollar and rising real interest rates have completely suppressed fundamentals. Speculative funds offloaded $1.6 billion in a single week, marking a yearly peak, while CTA net short positions reversed by $2.6 billion to the highest level this year. However, Goldman Sachs analysts believe that the extreme short positioning itself is building reversal momentum, highlighting an asymmetry; once macro headwinds subside, a retaliatory rebound could be easily triggered. After a similar shakeout last time, silver surged 15% in six weeks.
