Bitcoin is consolidating near a crucial support band, with $77,000 emerging as the key level to watch. A breakout above it could signal bullish momentum and a trend reversal, while failure to hold may keep Bitcoin in a corrective phase or push it lower. Bitcoin Re-Approaches Critical High-Timeframe Support After 0.786 Fibonacci Deviation Crypto analyst Luca highlighted that Bitcoin recently dipped below the high-timeframe support range marked in purple, briefly deviating toward the 0.786 Fibonacci point of interest around $65,900. Following that move, the price is now approaching the previously lost high-timeframe support zone, which coincides with the early April 2025 bottoming structure. This region also overlaps with the 3-day Bull Market Support Band, an area that has served as a strong reversal point several times over the past few months. Related Reading: Bitcoin Coiling At Key Support — Major Move Brewing Luca explained that this confluence of technical levels is the reason he has not yet reduced his hedge positions. Instead, he prefers to remain cautious until the market provides clearer confirmation of strength. According to Luca, such confirmation would likely come from Bitcoin reclaiming the lost support range or breaking above the Bull Market Support Band. Until that happens, the analyst warns that the current approach to this zone could still result in a rejection, meaning the move might represent a temporary bounce rather than a confirmed recovery. Luca also emphasized that traders should focus more on protecting capital rather than chasing profits at this stage. Only once clear strength appears, and the probability shifts toward a sustained upside continuation, would it make sense to adopt a more aggressive bullish stance. $77,000 Emerges As The Critical Confirmation Level For BTC According to Luca, the key confirmation level he is watching right now sits around $77,000. A decisive breakout above that level would signal stronger market momentum. Thus, Luca plans to gradually scale out of his hedge positions and rotate that capital back into his spot holdings, anticipating a more sustainable move to the upside. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Slumps 5%, Bearish Momentum Returns With Force Luca also noted that attempting to squeeze out an extra 10–15% gain at current levels may not be the best risk decision. Instead of aggressively chasing short-term profits, he prefers to wait for a clear confirmation that the market structure is shifting in favor of the bulls. He added that the potential upside could be significantly larger if Bitcoin successfully reclaims the $77,000 level. However, exiting hedge positions too early could expose traders to the risk of a bullish fakeout, where the price briefly moves higher before resuming its downward trend. Because of that possibility, Luca maintains a cautious stance until stronger confirmation appears. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin (BTC) has just flashed a ‘Death Cross,’ a technical signal that has historically preceded major market bottoms. Market analyst CrypFlow, who identified the chart pattern, notes that the current setup is unfolding almost identically to the 2022 bear market cycle. In his analysis, he outlines a potential price target for a Bitcoin bottom and shares what history suggests could come next if the death cross follows the same trajectory as in previous cycles.  Bitcoin Death Cross Signals More Downside CrypFlow shared his foreboding analysis on X, confirming a Death Cross on the three-day BTC chart that had previously signaled bear-market bottoms. The formation comes as Bitcoin faces significant selling pressure and market volatility, with investor sentiment down the drain and geopolitical tensions fueling more fear and panic, pushing holders to exit the market.  Related Reading: Expert Trader Says Bitcoin Surge To $220,000 Is Coming, But This Will Happen First CrypFlow has stated that the current Death Cross formed against a backdrop of Bitcoin trading around $66,200 at the time of the analysis, with the figure well below the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $89,799 and the 200 SMA at $91,226. The massive gap between the price and both moving averages underscores how aggressively the market has deteriorated since Bitcoin’s cycle top above $126,000 in October 2025.  The analyst draws a direct comparison between the current Death Cross and the 2022 bear market cycle, in which an identical Death Cross pattern preceded Bitcoin’s most devastating price crash to a final bottom. In that cycle, CrypFlow noted that the Death Cross formation came after reaching a peak above $66,000.  Once Bitcoin reached this ATH level, it began trending downwards, forming a Death Cross, which eventually led to a final capitulation low one month later. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency experienced a Double Bottom after crashing again in 2023, with this final decline serving as the foundation for the next bull run.  Analyst Shares BTC Bottom Target And Timeline The Death Cross pattern is widely recognized as a bearish warning sign, indicating more pain ahead for Bitcoin. Following the 2022 cycle, when the market bottomed roughly one month after the cross was confirmed, CrypFlow has identified March 29, 2026, as a critical window to watch for Bitcoin’s potential price floor this cycle. He suggests a possible target near $50,000, framing the projected one-month timeframe as a historically informed inflection point rather than a guaranteed outcome.   Related Reading: Analyst Says It’s Time For Bitcoin, But What’s Important About $58,000? CrypFlow has outlined three distinct conditions it intends to monitor as that window approaches. The first is continued price weakness into late March, which could serve as a behavioral confirmation that the current cycle is mirroring past patterns. The second condition the analyst is watching for is evidence of seller exhaustion near the March 29 window.  His third and perhaps most important condition is the reclaiming of key moving averages following any potential bottom. CrypFlow stressed that this reclaim should be viewed as confirmation of a completed bottom. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s market liquidity is poised to receive a significant boost as legacy financial giant Morgan Stanley moves toward offering its own BTC ETF option. The entry of such a major Wall Street institution into the BTC ETF space underscores growing confidence in BTC as an investable asset. It marks another major milestone in its march toward mainstream financial integration. How Morgan Stanley’s Entry Could Shift Supply-Demand Dynamics Morgan Stanley has officially entered the Bitcoin ETF race after submitting a new SEC filing for a spot BTC ETF. The filing names Coinbase and the Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon as custodian partners, with Coinbase Custody also playing a key role in safeguarding the underlying BTC. Related Reading: Bitcoin Leads Crypto Funds’ $1 Billion Rebound To End 5-Week Negative Streak An investor and blockchain researcher known as Anıl on X pointed out that when the first BTC ETFs were initially launched, a significant share of the inflows was effectively absorbing persistent selling pressure from Grayscale Investment. In other words, capital wasn’t entirely new, but BTC exchange was largely rotating from Grayscale’s product into other ETF vehicles. That dynamic had now faded because there is no longer a Grayscale-sized entity continuously offloading large amounts of BTC into the market. Anıl argues that initial inflows into Morgan Stanley’s ETF will represent real demand and fresh liquidity entering the market. Meanwhile, BNY Mellon and Coinbase Custody will serve as the custodians, with one of the providers again being Coinbase, which will also impact Coinbase Premium. Bitwise Channels ETF Momentum Into Developer Support The Bitwise Asset Management has donated $233,000 support open-source developers who help maintain and secure the Bitcoin network. According to Bitwise’s post on X, the contribution is part of the firm’s ongoing pledge to reinvest in the ecosystem through its Bitwise BTC ETF (BITB), which experienced notable growth over the past year. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETF Investors Show Diamond Hands: Only $6.5B In Outflows Since October 10 When BITB first launched, Bitwise committed to allocating 10% of the ETF’s gross profit annually toward supporting BTC open-source development. With this second annual donation, the firm says it is delivering on that same promise annually and reinvesting BITB’s growth directly back into the ecosystem that powers it. Bitwise emphasized that the funds will go to organizations focused on maintaining and improving the BTC protocol, and the donation will be distributed through three non-profit groups: BitcoinBlick, OpenSats, and the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Funds. The asset manager highlighted that the contribution is made possible by investors who align with this journey. However, Bitwise has described this donation as both a fulfillment of its commitment and a reflection of the trust placed in it by investors who believe in sustaining the open-source heart of BTC. Furthermore, as BITB continues to expand, so do its contributions to the developer ecosystem. The company described BTC as a transformative technology and said it intends to remain a responsible steward of the incredible ecosystem. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
