Kraken parent strikes $600 million deal to acquire Asian stablecoin firm Reap

Bitcoin continues to maintain a strong bullish structure, with price action 
steadily grinding higher across multiple timeframes. While bulls remain in 
control for now, the growing divergence between price and volume could signal 
slowing momentum and increase the risk of a pullback if buying pressure fails 
to return. A Hold Above Key Support At $74,937 As long as Bitcoin maintains 
its position above the critical floor of $74,937, the current upward momentum 
remains intact. Market analyst Kamile Uray notes that the primary obstacle for 
bulls during this ascent is the $98,000 resistance level. Establishing a daily 
close above this threshold would clear the path for the asset to test the next 
major supply zone located between $107,000 and $109,000. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Tests Crucial $80,000 Resistance: One Move Could Change Everything The 
$107,000–$109,000 range is expected to serve as a formidable barrier for price 
action. Should Bitcoin struggle to gain further traction and fail to sustain a 
breakthrough above $126,199, the market may face a significant rejection. Such 
a failure at these elevated levels would likely trigger a pullback as traders 
take profits and momentum stalls. In the event of a retracement, the 
$68,000–$71,000 region could provide the necessary liquidity to stabilize the 
price. However, if the selling pressure intensifies, the $60,000–$62,433 range 
will become a vital support corridor. A decisive daily close below the 
psychological $60,000 mark would be a bearish signal, suggesting that the 
decline is deepening, leading to a significant, long-term market correction. 
Bitcoin Climbs Higher Despite Declining Volume In a recent update, JDK 
Analysis noted that Bitcoin continues to grind higher, but trading volume has 
been steadily declining during the move. Despite the drop in volume, lower 
timeframes still indicate a very strong structural uptrend, with no obvious 
signs of weakness or breakdowns at present. As a result, there is currently no 
clear short-term setup worth acting on, as buyers continue to maintain control 
of the market structure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Gains Fade After 
Strong Rally Push Sparks Profit-Taking Price has also front-ran the next major 
resistance zone, meaning it moved aggressively before properly testing that 
level. If Bitcoin revisits the area, particularly around the all-time high 
anchored VWAP (aVWAP), attention will shift toward the possibility of an SFP 
(swing failure pattern) forming at the current highs, which could provide a 
potential short trigger. For bullish setups, the $73,000–$74,000 region 
remains the next key area of interest for possible long opportunities. Rather 
than chasing prices higher at current levels, the preference is to wait for a 
deeper pullback into a cleaner support zone before considering new positions. 
With market conditions becoming increasingly extended, protecting capital 
remains the top priority, while profit opportunities come second. Featured
