Bitcoin is narrowing its reach at a critical point support zonewith price action compressed after weeks of sideways movement. As volatility subsides and momentum increases below key resistance, the market appears to be preparing for a decisive breakout. Now that there is great support, the way is clear for an important step.
Consolidation zone signals strategic accumulation
Crypto analyst Donald Dean highlights that Bitcoin is currently in a prime position for consolidation and accumulation. Currently, the price action continues to respect a crucial supportive trendline, with a stable nature buy activity taking place around the $69,000 mark. This continued behavior indicates that the market is building a solid bottom, allowing investors to build positions before the next major move.

From a technical perspective, this $69,000 zone represents a formidable support area and a retest of the key outbreak in 2024. Dean views this phase as a healthy development for the asset’s long-term trajectory. Once multi-year support is confirmed, Bitcoin would essentially create a launching pad that will serve as the foundation for a sustained move toward higher valuations.
Looking at the weekly chart, Dean specifically identifies upside down targets based on volume and Fibonacci extensions. The first target is the $90,000 volume shelf, which acts as a price magnet. Additionally, the Golden Ratio (extension of 1.618) suggests a target of $102,000. Once these levels are breached, the next major challenge involves a move towards $122,000, which would represent a doubling from the previous low-to-high cycle.
However, the long-term outlook remains even more ambitious if bullish momentum continues to exist. Additionally, Dean notes that the subsequent Golden Ratio at the 2.618 extension puts the target at approximately $155,000. While these numbers represent important milestones, the current focus remains on the successful defense of the $69,000 level to validate the structural integrity of the ongoing bull market.
Weeks of sideways movement, no clear Bitcoin breakout
In a recent one updateCrypto Candy highlighted that Bitcoin remains stuck in an extended consolidation phase, trading within the $60,000 to $70,000 range for weeks. Despite multiple attempts to break out, the price continues to rotate within this zone, indicating continued indecision between buyers and sellers.

After a brief dip towards $62,000, BTC recovered towards $70,000. However, this bounce back does not change the broader reach structure. Without a decisive breakout, these moves are seen as internal rotations and not the start of a sustained trend.
For now, Crypto Candy maintains a bearish bias unless Bitcoin can convincingly convert the $71,000-$72,000 resistance zone into support. As long as the price remains below that threshold, expectations remain for another move towards $61,000 or possibly lower.
