After a terrible start to the weekend, the Bitcoin price jumped back to life on the back of news of a potential agreement between the United States and Iran. However, ignoring the potential impact of fresh geopolitical news or events, the current price structure suggests that new investors would be catching a falling knife. According to a chart highlighted on the X platform, the Bitcoin price appears bound for a drop to around $72,000, at least in the short term. BTC Price Trading In Ascending Channel Pattern Prominent chartist Aksel Kibar took to the social media platform X to share an interesting layout of the Bitcoin price, suggesting the coin might be on its way down to around $72,500. This highlighted chart shows the formation of an ascending channel on the BTC daily timeframe over the past few months. Related Reading: Key Volume Signals Are Driving XRP Momentum Amid Market Uncertainty For context, an ascending channel is a technical analysis pattern characterized by two major (upward-sloping) trendlines: the upper line connecting the higher highs and the lower line connecting the higher lows. Within this framework, the upper boundary acts as resistance while the lower trendline provides a support cushion to the asset’s price (i.e., Bitcoin price). Typically, an ascending channel shows the persistence of an upward trend, with the Bitcoin price forming multiple higher highs and higher lows since February. However, the premier cryptocurrency recently formed a swing high around $82,500 and is currently undergoing a retracement that could see its value fall to as low as $72,500. What to watch is what happens at the lower boundary if the Bitcoin price does fall to $72,500 over the next few days. On an optimistic note, the flagship cryptocurrency could bounce back and forge back towards the upper trendline if this highlighted support level holds strong. In this case, the resistance region to watch would be just above $86,000, where there would likely be a confluence of the 365-day moving average and the upper boundary line. The market leader could enjoy further significant upside if the Bitcoin price breaks above this resistance region. However, there is also a chance that the BTC price could lose the $72,500 support, which could trigger a wave of bearish pressure. If this scenario plays out, the premier cryptocurrency could fall as low as $60,000, where Kibar thinks a short-term reversal could form. In any case, Kibar noted that he would only consider entering a long position above the 365-day moving average, a major indicator of the start of a bull market. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $76,762, reflecting a 2% jump in the past 24 hours.

Dogecoin is at a technical area that will look very familiar to traders who followed its 2024 rally. The weekly chart shows Dogecoin is pressing into a long-term Fibonacci fan structure drawn from the 2021 peak, with the current retest coming near the 0.618 Fib fan after a similar 0.5 Fib fan retest preceded the large move in October 2024. This technical setup does not confirm a breakout on its own, but it places Dogecoin at one of its most important weekly decision points in months. Related Reading: History Shows Bitcoin ETF Outflows Favor Accumulation, Says Santiment Dogecoin Returns To A Familiar Fib Fan Structure The main idea of this technical analysis is that Dogecoin is still trading inside a long-term descending resistance structure that began from the 2021 all-time high price of $0.7316. However, the analysis also uses an interesting Fibonacci waves indicator in the form of expanding fan lines extending from the memecoin’s peak price. These lines have acted as long-term resistance and breakout markers across DOGE’s post-2021 structure. Price spent much of 2022 and 2023 below these fan lines, only pushing into stronger recoveries when it reclaimed one of them. The comparison is the October 2024 retest. At that time, DOGE fell below the 0.5 Fib fan area, held the structure below for a while, and then followed with a rally that sent its price to as high as $0.48 in December 2024. The chart now shows a similar retest developing around the 0.618 Fib fan, with the Dogecoin price currently trading around the $0.10 to $0.11 range. Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @_CryptoSurf On X Is Dogecoin Preparing For Another Wave? Dogecoin’s current interaction with the indicator shows it may be checking whether another Fib level can behave like support. If it holds, the setup will mean that Dogecoin is building another base at a Fib fan level similar to the Q4 2024 run. The ideal scenario for a bullish run is that DOGE holds above $0.095, pushes through $0.115, and begins climbing back above $0.14. That would make the 0.618 Fib fan retest look more like the October 2024 setup, where a technical hold came before a larger wave. On the other hand, if the setup fails, the repeat pattern loses credibility, and the Dogecoin price may return to lower support zones. A weekly breakdown below $0.095 would weaken the current pattern and lead to a consolidation between $0.095 and $0.08.

The price of Bitcoin seemed set for another round of pain over the weekend after falling below the psychological $75,000 level on Saturday morning. However, the premier cryptocurrency has somewhat recovered and is looking to reclaim $77,000 as of this writing. At the same time, an increase in the supply of Bitcoin’s long-term investors was also observed on the day, although the signal might not be what it seems. Here’s Why BTC LTH Supply Data Is Skewed In a recent post on the X platform, pseudonymous analyst Darkfost revealed a surge in the Bitcoin supply held by long-term holders (LTH) over the past few days. However, this supposed rise in LTH activity might not be as relevant to BTC’s growth as the data would ordinarily suggest. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Thesis Goes Big: 39 Trillion Reasons To Buy, Says Gemini Founder Highlighting data from CryptoQuant, Darkfost shared that the long-term holder supply has increased from 15 million to 15.8 million BTC over the past two days. The on-chain analyst noted that this metric is among the numerous data points affected by Coinbase’s movement of roughly 800,000 BTC in November 2025. Between November 22nd and 23rd, the US-domiciled crypto exchange shuffled 800,000 BTC (worth nearly $70 billion, at the time) between its internal wallets. As Darkfost mentioned, this maintenance transfer destroyed old LTH UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) and created new but skewed Bitcoin datasets. The crypto analyst wrote on X: As a result, datasets across multiple platforms incorporated this movement, affecting UTXO-based metrics, age and value cohorts, STH/LTH cost basis, realized value, volumes, and more. Saturday, May 23rd marked six months since the Bitcoin transfer, with the moved BTC now fully transitioned from the short-term holder (STH) to the long-term holder supply. Typically, an increase in LTH supply signals increased accumulation and a growing conviction among the most seasoned crypto investors. However, market participants might want to exercise caution when making decisions with this on-chain signal, considering that it does truly reflect an increase in investor demand. What’s Next For Bitcoin Price? In a separate post on the X platform, Darkfost identified the next major resistance level for the Bitcoin price. Highlighting the STH cost basis, the analyst said that this resistance currently sits just above the $80,000 mark. According to Darkfost, the short-term investors seem to be choosing to cut their losses rather than holding for a reversal, as evidenced by resistance the Bitcoin price faces at their average cost basis. Hence, the premier cryptocurrency needs a sustained break above the $80,000 ceiling for its recovery journey to continue. As of this writing, BTC is valued at around $76,490, reflecting a 1% price increase in the past 24 hours.
