Bitcoin surges past $77K as $40M in shorts liquidated amid US-Iran tensions

Bitcoin price started a recovery wave above the $75,000 zone. BTC is 
consolidating and might aim for more gains if it clears the $77,350 resistance 
zone. Bitcoin managed to form a base above $74,500 and started a recovery 
wave. The price is trading above $75,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving 
average. There is a rising channel forming with resistance at $77,350 on the 
hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might gain 
bullish momentum if it settles above the $77,500 zone. Bitcoin Price Regains 
Traction Bitcoin price remained supported above the $74,000 zone. BTC formed a 
base and settled above $74,500 to start a recovery wave. There was a move 
above the $75,000 and $75,500 levels. The bulls were able to push the price 
above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $78,344 
swing high to the $73,637 low. There is also a rising channel forming with 
resistance at $77,350 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now 
trading above $75,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price 
remains stable above $75,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate 
resistance is near the $77,250 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of 
the downward move from the $78,344 swing high to the $73,637 low. The first 
key resistance is near the $77,350 level. A close above the $77,350 resistance 
might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise 
and test the $78,000 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward 
the $78,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $80,000. Another 
Decline In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $77,350 resistance zone, it 
could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $76,000 level. The 
first major support is near the $75,650 level. The next support is now near 
the $75,400 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $74,250 
support in the near term. The main support now sits at $73,200, below which 
BTC might struggle to recover in the near term. Technical indicators: Hourly 
MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative 
Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support 
Levels – $76,000, followed by $75,400. Major Resistance Levels – $77,250 and 
$78,000.

Bitcoin Price Rebound Accelerates, Traders Eye Strong Upside Continuation

Ethereum is approaching a critical resistance zone as recent recovery attempts 
begin to lose momentum. With price action still showing signs of a corrective 
structure, attention is shifting toward the possibility of a move back to 
lower range levels if sellers step in at key resistance. HTF Range Aligns With 
Ethereum TCT Distribution Model According to crypto analyst The Composite 
Trader, Ethereum is currently developing within a well-defined higher 
timeframe (HTF) range that aligns with a TCT distribution model. This 
structure suggests that price action may be building toward a potential 
bearish rotation, with the broader range still intact and guiding market 
behavior. Related Reading: Ethereum Flips Key Resistance, ETF Demand Returns, 
Analysts Eye Next Leg Higher The analyst emphasized that full confirmation has 
not yet been achieved, as a clean and high-quality third tap is still required 
to validate the setup. That third interaction with resistance is a key 
component of the model, often acting as the trigger point for a more decisive 
move toward the lower end of the range. While waiting for this confirmation, 
the expert focuses on lower-timeframe (LTF) opportunities, particularly short- 
term accumulation setups that can drive the price upward into the anticipated 
third tap zone. He further explained that some of his most successful trading 
sequences come from linking these timeframes, capturing gains on the way up 
through LTF longs, then rotating those profits into short positions near HTF 
resistance. By treating the entire process as one continuous sequence rather 
than separate trades, it becomes possible to compound gains more aggressively. 
This strategy is rooted in the concept of ‘TCT creating TCT’, where patterns 
on lower timeframes build into and reinforce structures on higher timeframes. 
B-Wave Bounce Faces Key Resistance At $2,332–$2,420 More Crypto Online pointed 
out that the first major resistance for a potential B-wave bounce is 
positioned between $2,332 and $2,420. This zone is expected to act as a 
decisive barrier, where any upward move could face selling pressure and 
determine whether the recovery has strength or remains corrective. Related 
Reading: Ethereum Signals Major Reversal – $2,900 Target Back In Focus The 
analysis emphasizes that the structure of the bounce is just as important as 
the level itself. As long as any move into this resistance region unfolds in a 
clear three-wave pattern, it would suggest that the market is still within a 
corrective phase. Under this scenario, the door remains open for additional 
downside in the short term before a more meaningful recovery rally can 
develop. On the downside, the $2,037 level is identified as the key support to 
watch in the coming sessions. This level could act as a stabilization point if 
tested. Still, a decisive break below it would increase the probability of an 
extended correction before the next bullish phase begins. Featured image from
