Bitcoin Update: Price Action & Technical Outlook

BTC has successfully broken through the 94k level, surged past 95k, and even tested near the 98k mark. However, looking at the candlestick formations and market structure, it appears unlikely we'll see 100k immediately.

Based on current price action, a pullback seems more probable before any further upside. This correction could potentially retest the 94k support zone, or the price might consolidate in a tighter range first while buyers and sellers find equilibrium.

The key is watching how price behaves around these critical levels—support holds and resistance breaks will dictate the next directional move.

98k hasn't been broken yet, and being so confident about 100k is a bit too optimistic... I think a pullback to 94k is very likely, and there are still many stop-loss orders to be triggered.

Already touched 98k, still not pushing to 100? The market is a bit crowded, feels like a correction is needed before moving up.

Pulling back to shake out the weak hands is very normal. If 98k doesn't break through 100k, it's even more uncertain. Let's wait and see if 94k can hold first.

Even after reaching 98k, still saying 100k is far away, haha. Alright, then I'll just patiently wait for the pullback to hit 94k before jumping in.
