Following Pectra, Ethereum Fees Stay Low as Bitcoin Fee Market Remains Soft

Popular digital asset analyst with X handle Crypto Patel has stated that 
Bitcoin is currently retesting a crucial price resistance at the $106,500 
price region. Based on the asset’s performance at this level, BTC investors 
could expect a bullish price continuation or a significant price pullback. 
After a brief rise above $105,000 on May 12, Bitcoin has remained range-bound, 
showing no significant price movement since then. However, bullish sentiments 
remain high as demonstrated by US BTC spot ETFs scooping another almost $2 
billion in net weekly investments. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s $10,000 
Stairway: Chart Signals March Toward $115,000 Bitcoin At A Crossroads: Can 
Bulls Push To $120k — Or Does A Fall To $75k Await? In an X post on May 16, 
Crypto Patel shares a simple technical analysis on Bitcoin price movement, 
highlighting the present major support and resistance levels. According to the 
analyst, Bitcoin&#8217;s most recent price gain shows the asset is retesting a 
critical resistance around the $106,500 price region. Notably, this resistance 
band has proved effective in inducing price rejections in December and 
January. If Bitcoin bulls can command sufficient market demand to subdue this 
price barrier, Crypto Patel projects the premier cryptocurrency will sustain 
its current uptrend with an initial price target set at $120,000. On the other 
hand, another price rejection could harm current investors&#8217; expectations, as 
such negative development would force prices below the crucial $90,000 support 
zone to trade as low as the current market bottom at $75,000. This projected 
correction hints at a potential 27.1% decline from the present market price 
despite currently robust bullish sentiments. Interestingly, the Relative 
Strength Index (RSI) shows that Bitcoin has recently dipped from the 
overbought territory, thus supporting predictions of an impending price 
correction. However, macroeconomic developments such as the 90-day tariff 
truce between the US and China, and strong levels of institutional investment, 
boost the potential of a bullish trend continuation. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Headed For Crucial Encounter At $4,000 – Here’s Why Bitcoin Price Prediction 
At press time, Bitcoin is valued at $103,355 following a 1.62% decline in the 
last week. However, the asset’s monthly performance reflects a 21.46% gain, 
signalling most new market entrants are still in profit. According to the 
prediction site, CoinCodex, investors are showing a high level of greed as 
indicated by the Fear &amp; Greed Index at 74. Coincodex analysts are predicting 
Bitcoin to reach $127,872 in the next five days, followed by a price 
correction that will return prices to around $111,616. For long-term 
investment, the analyst projects Bitcoin to hit a valuation of $155,583 in 
three months and $148,167 in six months. Featured image from Pexels, chart
