“So we have a double top rejection currently on BTC, so we need to really make a note of levels incase we drop,” popular trader Crypto Tony warned Twitter followers in a fresh analysis of the three-day chart.“Those two levels are $25,000 & $20,000, and these are both key psychological levels. Make a note.”BTC/USD annotated chart. Source: Crypto Tony/Twitter

Others were ready and waiting for volatility to reenter the market, but would not be drawn on whether Bitcoin would ultimately break out or break down to test levels from earlier in the year.

Among them was popular trader and analyst Toni Ghinea, who envisaged a make-or-break decision for the recent narrow price range in the coming week.

“I"m expecting a big move with $BTC next week. 31-32k is resistance. 29k is support. Keep it simple,” he summarized.“If there’s a break above do NOT get euphoric. We are literally at the range high. If there’s a nuke next key area is 27-28k. If it holds get ready to buy the pullback. If it breaks lower than 19-23k is still on the cards. Play this level by level. That’s it.”
