The price’s proximity to key technical support determines whether Bitcoin can recover or face deeper declines, influencing investor confidence and the broader crypto market’s risk appetite.
Bitcoin slipped to roughly $96,300, hovering just below the $97,800 high‑time‑frame average that analysts have been watching for six months. Host Paul Sampson highlighted a bearish harmonic AB=CD pattern that originally projected a $130,000 target, but the recent pullback has brought the price into a critical “gold pocket” support zone near the yearly open. He cautioned that while news such as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown can sway sentiment, the technical picture remains neutral, with a decisive test of the $97,800 level needed to confirm any upside rebound. Traders should watch for a sustained close above that threshold; otherwise, further downside pressure could persist, keeping the market in a tight consolidation box.
