🚀 Bitcoin Price Prediction by AI and: Key Levels to Watch for Current Range-Bound Trading 📊

Current Overview: Bitcoin Futures (December Contract)

Bitcoin futures are currently consolidating within a well-defined range as buyers struggle to gain control, and sellers maintain slight dominance. Price remains capped at key resistance while testing critical support levels, creating a range-bound market with a slight bearish tilt.

📉 Prediction Summary:

Score: -3 (Slight Bearish Bias with Neutral Momentum)

🔑 Key Levels to Watch

  1. Resistance Levels (Upper Range):

    • $105,405: Initial resistance that has repeatedly capped upward moves.
    • $105,700: Today’s first upper VWAP standard deviation. Some might even wait for price to retrace up there to enter a short, betting on another leg down in the range.
    • Some sellers may wait for a possible retracement up of Bitcoin futures price all the way to $107,250 (Yesterday’s POC) and even $107,860 (Yesterday’s VAH) before attempting a short.
  2. Support Levels (Lower Range):

    • $103,325: Today’s Value Area Low (VAL) at the time of writing.
    • $102,500: Significant support aligning with historical Value Area Highs (VAH) from 3 and 5 days ago.
  3. Deeper Downside Targets:

    • $101,400: VWAP of 3 days and days ago.
    • $100,890: Naked Value Area Low, which could attract price if support breaks.
    • Measured move projection targets $96,200 and $94,950 if the current range fails decisively. Shorts, if taken, should consider covering part of their profitable short, if and when the price of bitcoin futures gets there, possibly having a ‘runner’ beyond the partial profit taking.

🕵️ Updated Key Observations

    Buyers showed some initial momentum, but volumes were balanced, indicating no decisive push higher.

  2. Sellers Take Control Near Resistance (23:00):
    Sellers began to dominate near key resistance levels, as buyers failed to follow through.

  3. Stronger Sell Pressure Develops (08:00):
    Sellers maintained control with notable bearish momentum, pushing price downward.

  4. Momentum Stalls (12:00):
    Volumes balanced out, signaling indecision. Buyers made a small improvement, but it lacked conviction.

📈 Bullish Scenario: Signs to Look For

For Bitcoin to break out to the upside:

  1. Price must reclaim $105,440 and sustain above $105,850.
  2. Watch for:
    • Increasing positive Delta Change and stronger Delta SL values.
    • Rising buy volumes showing buyer strength.
  3. Target if bullish momentum builds: $107,860 and higher.

📉 Bearish Scenario: Key Conditions

If Bitcoin breaches support:

  1. Failure to hold above $103,325 could open the door to test $102,500.
  2. Further breakdowns could target:
    • $101,400 (VWAP confluence).
    • $100,890 (naked VAL).
  3. Measured move projection suggests downside targets near $94,950 if sellers accelerate
