BTCUSD on Tradingview Bitcoin Price’s Stuck, But Not for Long? Analyst Daan 
Crypto shared insights regarding the current Bitcoin price action. The analyst 
believes that BTC has been compressing over the past weeks. In that sense, a 
lot of traders are expecting a spike in volatility. As seen on the image 
below, the Bitcoin price has been trading within a tight range form by its 
monthly high sitting at $110,600 and a monthly low at around $100,000. Within 
this range, there are two key levels to watch: the area between $109,000 and 
$103,000. A breakout or breakdown from this range might signal the return of 
volatility to the Bitcoin price action. Thus, the cryptocurrency might reclaim 
or return to either or the previously mentioned levels on higher timeframes. 
The analyst stated the following: BTC Still hanging around the $105K area 
which is the middle of the monthly range and right at the monthly open. Price 
has been compressing and it&#8217;s clear that the market is waiting for a big move 
to occur. The statistics still heavily favor a further displacement this week 
and especially this month. So keep an eye on these levels and play 
accordingly. Bitcoin price trading within a tight range on the 4 hour chart.

be affected by ‘summertime blues.’ In other words, the firm predicts a decline 
in volatility as institutions and traders exit the market over July and 
August. Related Reading: Bitcoin Channel Break Below $105,000 Sparks Panic,

This indicator is currently sitting below 40%. In addition with a hawkish Fed, 
the trading desk predicts more dull price action over the coming weeks and 
caution amongst operators: (…) the Fed held interest rates steady. But its 
stance remains hawkish. Inflation expectations are still elevated, with 
tariffs flagged as a key upside risk. The Fed prefers to “wait and see” until 
there is more clarity on inflation’s path. While some macro watchers expect 
softening labor and economic data to eventually push the Fed dovish, the 
current numbers say otherwise. Cover image from ChatGPT, BTC/USD chart from
