Bitcoin’s recent rejection near key resistance has raised fresh concerns about 
the strength of its ongoing rally. After a steady climb, signs of selling 
pressure are beginning to emerge, hinting that bullish momentum may be 
weakening. With price now hovering around critical support zones, the next 
move could determine whether the uptrend regains traction or starts to lose 
steam. 2–618 Pattern Triggers: BTC Rejected At $78,000 In a market update, 
analyst Kamile Uray revealed that the long-anticipated 2-618 pattern for 
Bitcoin has officially activated. After the price approached the $78,037 mark, 
significant selling pressure stalled the upward momentum. This reaction at the 
local peak confirms that the market is currently responding to technical 
overhead, initiating a corrective phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Setup 
Suggests Liquidity Hunt Before Next Directional Move The immediate outlook 
suggests the current decline could extend down to the $73,762 level, which 
serves as a critical decision point for the asset. If Bitcoin manages to hold 
this floor, the possibility of a renewed bullish push remains on the table. 
Should the price slip below the $73,762 bottom, the next major target is 
$70,165, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci support of the most recent 
upward wave. A successful defense of this area would likely spark another 
upward move. Conversely, if bulls want to reclaim full control, they must 
achieve a close above $79,555. Such a move would establish the first higher 
high on the 4-hour chart relative to the recent downturn, signaling a 
continuation of the macro uptrend toward the $98,000 and $107,000–$109,000 
range. In the event of a more severe retracement, secondary supports are 
identified at $65,666, $63,823, $62,433, and $60,000. The stakes are 
particularly high at this lower limit; a daily close below $60,000 would be a 
highly bearish signal, potentially marking the beginning of a more substantial 
market decline. Key Levels In Focus: Mapping Bitcoin’s Critical Zones 
Highlighting the key levels marked on the chart, Daan Crypto Trades emphasized 
that the low $80,000 region remains a pivotal zone for bulls in the short to 
mid-term. He also noted that the $72,000 level, which previously acted as 
resistance for over two months, has now flipped into a critical support zone.

Retracement Phase Maintaining price above this level would reinforce bullish 
control and suggest that the market is building a solid base for further 
upside, providing the foundation needed for another leg higher. A breakdown 
below $72,000, however, would likely indicate that the momentum from the 
recent bounce is fading, opening the door for more sideways market structure. 
Although Bitcoin has posted a steady 20% gain throughout April, the price 
action may not last long, as volatility is expected to emerge at any point.
