Altcoins Retest Key Support Level

Amid the recent market’s performance, many Altcoins have struggled to record significant gains. However, several market watchers forecasted the start of the altcoin will come as soon as January 2025.

Fueled by the post-US election pump, the total crypto market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, broke out on a three-year downtrend in mid-November, surpassing its yearly high of $788 billion. During this month’s rally, the sector surged to $1.1 trillion, its highest market cap since 2021.

Since then, Altcoins has struggled over the last two weeks, dropping nearly 26% as Bitcoin lost the $100,000 mark but remains above a key level despite the recent performance.

Crypto Jelle pointed out that the sector broke out and retested its “major trendline while destroying all leverage in the process.” The analyst highlighted that funding was “completely reset,” sentiment has been at its lowest, and the chart seems promising, adding he is “Very bullish for 2025.”

He also noted that Altcoins’ price action is “very similar” to Bitcoin’s first major pullback of 2021. Per the chart, the flagship crypto had a “strong rally, pullback, lower high, and chopping below the first low” before breaking out to new highs.

Based on this performance, Altcoins’ pullback is seemingly over, they “should start pushing back up soon if this keeps playing out the same.” Similarly, Michaël van de Poppe stated, “The correction is almost over, and the time for up only is on the horizon for Altcoins and Bitcoin. Expecting a lot to come.”

Altseason To Follow 2021’s Playbook?

Titan of Crypto asserted that Altcoins are set to explode soon, suggesting that “the grand finale is around the corner.” Per the analyst’s chart, Altcoins have been in a two-year cup and handle pattern, breaking out of the pattern’s upper line during the recent market highs.

According to the pattern, Altcoins, excluding ETH, could see a 200% to a market capitalization of $1.4 trillion, surpassing 2021’s high of $1.13 trillion. The analyst also pointed out that, ahead of its 2021 rally, the sector saw a similar performance.

In 2020, Altcoins broke out in November and saw a significant 30% drop in early December, followed by a four-week recovery. Then, they recorded a 143% surge in January 2021, which led to other three-monthly green candles before the first major retrace.

Similarly, they’ve experienced a 26% drop this December, currently being on the third week out of the expected four-week recovery period. To the analyst, “Early January could mark the start of an ‘up only’ season.”

Lastly, Titan of Crypto added that, during the last two cycles, Altcoins’ initial rally lasted between 140 and 175 days, suggesting that this cycle’s rally could hit a new high around April or May. If it were to follow the past cycles’ performance, it could see a first pump around Q2 2025 before peaking in Q4.

The Bitcoin price has struggled to reclaim previous price highs above $100,000, with bearish sentiment dominating the market. Currently, the Bitcoin price is retesting the support line of an Ascending Channel after crashing below $95,000. A crypto analyst has predicted that if it can hold this key support level, it could stage a recovery and skyrocket to its next bullish target, aligning with the upper resistance line of the channel. 

Bitcoin Price Retest Support Line; New Target In Sight

In a chart illustrating Bitcoin’s price movement within an Ascending Channel, Trader Tardigrade, a crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that the cryptocurrency has temporarily declined below the lower support line on the channel. The analyst labeled this decline a “False Break,” highlighting that the Ascending Channel remains intact despite the drop.

As indicated by the red circle in the price chart, the False Break suggests that Bitcoin’s brief move below the support level was short-lived and does not confirm the continuation of its previous downtrend. Trader Tardigrade noted that after Bitcoin’s False break, the cryptocurrency quickly moved back into the Ascending Channel to reclaim the lower support line. 

Interestingly, Bitcoin’s drop below the False break comes as the pioneer cryptocurrency experienced a sharp price crash below $95,000. Lately, the flagship cryptocurrency has been under significantly bearish pressure, recording notable declines as market volatility intensifies.  

Despite this bearish performance, Trader Tardigrade has disclosed that Bitcoin is now retesting the channel’s support line again, aiming to break above and trigger a price reversal. The analyst predicts that if Bitcoin can hold this support line, it will likely continue moving upwards within the channel. 

Consequently, the analyst has forecasted that Bitcoin’s next price target would be the upper resistance line of the Ascending Channel. Looking at the price chart, the channel points upwards towards a range between $110,000 and $112,000. 

If Bitcoin can successfully recover toward the upper resistance line, it could signal the continuation of a bullish trend within the Ascending Channel. Additionally, a breakout above the resistance line could further validate the bullish momentum, setting up a stage for Bitcoin to potentially target higher price levels and possibly retest its all-time high.

Analyst Says Bitcoin Could Crash To $87,000

Bitcoin is currently in a downward trend, experiencing severe price declines despite analysts’ optimistic projections of a price surge. According to crypto analyst Titan of Crypto, the Bitcoin price could see another decline, with the support level at $87,000 being the next target. 

However, according to the analyst, a drop to this price low could bring “maximum pain” to both short—and long-term investors. Nevertheless, Titan of Crypto believes this severe price decline could also present a strong foundation for Bitcoin’s next price rally. 

He emphasized that price movements are rarely linear, highlighting the crypto market’s inherent unpredictability and volatility. Despite Bitcoin’s bearish behavior, Titan of Crypto confidently predicts that a price rally to $110,000 is inevitable.

Crypto analyst Trade PSH has revealed the major Bitcoin support levels to watch out for as BTC bulls push for a rally to the psychological $100,000 level. The analyst also mentioned what price levels Bitcoin could reach in the short term as it breaks above $100,000. 

Bitcoin Support Levels To Watch Out For As Bulls Push For $100,000

In a TradingView post, Trade PSH stated that the local maximum is $99,450 as bulls are repeatedly trying to push the price above $100,000. The crypto analyst also mentioned that the nearest key support zone comes in between $95,000 and $96,600. This aligns with a recent Bitcoinist report that highlighted the $96,000 level as a crucial support zone.

While the Bitcoin price is moving above this support zone, Trade PSH stated that the primary scenario is continued growth for the flagship crypto. If Bitcoin maintains an uptrend and eventually breaks above the psychological $100,000 level, the crypto analyst predicts that the intermediate growth target is between $102,000 and $102,757. 

Based on the current price action, the analyst suggested that Bitcoin could rally to $108,366. This would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the flagship crypto, as its current ATH is $108,268. Meanwhile, Trade PSH mentioned that a drop below $94,300 would invalidate this trade setup. 

The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could break above $100,000 and reach these short-term targets before the year ends. While that remains to be seen, it is worth mentioning that January 2025 provides a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto. 

Pro-crypto Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20, which could lead to the creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Historically, Bitcoin also enjoyed a price recovery in January 2021 of the last bull run. As such, history could repeat itself again. 

BTC Is Heading Higher

In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also provided a bullish outlook for the Bitcoin price, stating that the flagship crypto is heading higher. His accompanying chart showed that Bitcoin could rally to as high as $158,000 by May 2025. The chart also showed a price target above $220,000, suggesting that the flagship crypto could rally even higher.

Titan of Crypto alluded to a bullish pennant, which he suggested was still in play for the Bitcoin price. This massive bull pennant is forming in the monthly timeframe, and if it plays out, the crypto analyst is confident that Bitcoin will enjoy a parabolic rally to this price target. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $98,100, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
