Veteran market analyst with X handle Daan Crypto has shared an intriguing insight on the present Bitcoin market structure. In a recent post on May 16, Daan Crypto provided some technical pointers for BTC investors while highlighting the potential fundamental developments that could influence the price action of the premier cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin Break Above ATH Key To Bullish Momentum

In a major breakthrough for investors, the US and China have agreed to a 90-day pause on the recent steep tariffs, aiming to de-escalate a looming trade war between the world’s two largest economies. The announcement sparked a surge in market confidence, with over $600 billion flowing into global financial markets. According to Daan Crypto, Bitcoin recorded a sharp price gain following this development, even outperforming the US stock market for a while almost trade at $106,000. However, the crypto asset’s price growth has since stalled, entering a range-bound market between $101,000 – $105,000, while the stock market has recorded a continuous price growth.

With a current market price around $103,000, Bitcoin trades a few price levels below its all-time high at $109,000. Daan Crypto explains that the premier cryptocurrency must surpass this ATH level and enter price discovery to rediscover a bullish momentum for a long-term uptrend. Barring this development, the market expert predicts BTC will likely remain in consolidation for the foreseeable future.

$90k Support Zone Crucial To BTC Bull Structure – Analyst

In other developments, Daan Crypto has picked $90,000 as the critical support level for the current market uptrend. The analyst has stated that a fall below this price would produce a bearish signal, indicating that Bitcoin has fallen out of its bullish range and may experience a significant downswing.

Notably, a price dip below $90,000 has not occurred since the BTC price rebound began in mid-April. Daan Crypto states that as long as the maiden cryptocurrency maintains this support zone, investors can be “cautiously bullish”.

However, the renowned market expert also notes that Bitcoin is showing much weakness relative to the stock market compared to a month ago, when its price was 20%-30% lower than the present market. In this present situation, Bitcoin is likely to follow the stock markets, which have surged by 30%-50% in the last month, in the event of any potential price pullback.

At press time, the leading cryptocurrency continues to trade at $103,509, reflecting a 0.51% decline in the past day.
