Bitcoin’s recent rejection near key resistance has raised fresh concerns about the strength of its ongoing rally. After a steady climb, signs of selling pressure are beginning to emerge, hinting that bullish momentum may be weakening. With price now hovering around critical support zones, the next move could determine whether the uptrend regains traction or starts to lose steam. 2–618 Pattern Triggers: BTC Rejected At $78,000 In a market update, analyst Kamile Uray revealed that the long-anticipated 2-618 pattern for Bitcoin has officially activated. After the price approached the $78,037 mark, significant selling pressure stalled the upward momentum. This reaction at the local peak confirms that the market is currently responding to technical overhead, initiating a corrective phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Setup Suggests Liquidity Hunt Before Next Directional Move The immediate outlook suggests the current decline could extend down to the $73,762 level, which serves as a critical decision point for the asset. If Bitcoin manages to hold this floor, the possibility of a renewed bullish push remains on the table. Should the price slip below the $73,762 bottom, the next major target is $70,165, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci support of the most recent upward wave. A successful defense of this area would likely spark another upward move. Conversely, if bulls want to reclaim full control, they must achieve a close above $79,555. Such a move would establish the first higher high on the 4-hour chart relative to the recent downturn, signaling a continuation of the macro uptrend toward the $98,000 and $107,000–$109,000 range. In the event of a more severe retracement, secondary supports are identified at $65,666, $63,823, $62,433, and $60,000. The stakes are particularly high at this lower limit; a daily close below $60,000 would be a highly bearish signal, potentially marking the beginning of a more substantial market decline. Key Levels In Focus: Mapping Bitcoin’s Critical Zones Highlighting the key levels marked on the chart, Daan Crypto Trades emphasized that the low $80,000 region remains a pivotal zone for bulls in the short to mid-term. He also noted that the $72,000 level, which previously acted as resistance for over two months, has now flipped into a critical support zone. Related Reading: Why Every Bitcoin Macro Triangle Breakdown Has Led To A Retracement Phase Maintaining price above this level would reinforce bullish control and suggest that the market is building a solid base for further upside, providing the foundation needed for another leg higher. A breakdown below $72,000, however, would likely indicate that the momentum from the recent bounce is fading, opening the door for more sideways market structure. Although Bitcoin has posted a steady 20% gain throughout April, the price action may not last long, as volatility is expected to emerge at any point.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has shared a weekly chart and asked traders how deep they think XRP could fall into support. The post matters because Brandt’s chart frames XRP not as a clean momentum breakout, but as a market still trying to prove that its late-2024 range expansion can hold as support. Brandt, posting from @PeterLBrandt account on X, addressed the XRP crowd directly. “Attention all Ripplettes,” he wrote. “How deep into support do you Ripplettes think price could go? XRP. See chart.” What This Means For XRP The chart attached to the post showed XRP/USDT on Binance on a weekly timeframe. Brandt marked out a broad structure that begins with XRP’s long base through 2023 and much of 2024, then the sharp vertical breakout in late 2024, followed by a wide consolidation and eventual pullback. The key level near $1.55 appears to be central to the setup. In technical terms, it’s a former range-reclaim. Related Reading: Pundit Shares The Most Important Thing To Remember About XRP That $1.55 region also explains why Brandt’s chart is uncomfortable for bulls. XRP has already slipped below. Once a market loses a prior range, technicians often look for the next areas where buyers previously absorbed supply. Brandt’s lower horizontal lines seem to map those zones: one near the recent consolidation lows, another around the deeper post-breakout support, and then the broader ascending base that defined XRP’s pre-breakout structure. The poll attached to the post made that support map explicit. Brandt offered four choices: “Bottom is in,” “Support at .93xx,” “Support at .72xx,” and “Slightly above zero.” The $0.93 area appears to come from a descending trendline which originates at the 2021 high. The $0.72 area is deeper. On the weekly chart, it aligns with the ascending trendline of XRP’s old 2023–2024 base and the rising long-term support line that preceded the late-2024 move. In other words, it is not just a random number. It represents a possible full retest of the prior breakout structure. The broader pattern Brandt appears to be highlighting is a failed or stressed range breakout after a large advance. XRP broke out of a long accumulation-style range, rallied aggressively above $3, then formed a wide top-like consolidation with multiple failed attempts to extend higher. Related Reading: XRP Faces Fragile Setup As Whale Selling Meets Retail Buying For XRP bulls, the first answer depends on the $1.55 area. If price can reclaim and hold that level on the weekly timeframe, the chart would look more like a deep retest of a breakout zone than a full structural failure. A reclaim would suggest that buyers are still defending the former range boundary and that the market has not fully surrendered the post-breakout advance. Without that reclaim, however, the lower support levels in Brandt’s poll become more relevant because price would remain below the shelf that previously supported the consolidation. The poll results showed how split traders were on that risk. “Bottom is in” had 27% of the vote, “Support at .72xx” also had 27%, and “Slightly above zero” drew another 27%. The more moderate option, “Support at .93xx,” had 19% and was marked as the selected choice in the screenshot. At press time, the poll had received 364 votes with nearly 12 hours remaining while XRP traded at $1.3941. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
