Robinhood continues to expand its crypto services offering with micro futures contracts on leading assets.

Bitcoin, XRP, SOL futures launch on Robinhood

Bitcoin is showing resilience above the $105,000 mark, holding firm despite 
ongoing volatility and economic uncertainty. While bulls struggle to break 
above the all-time high at $112,000, the market remains in a high-stakes 
consolidation phase. Macroeconomic conditions remain unstable, with weak 
global growth forecasts and elevated inflation pushing investors into risk-off 
assets. Still, Bitcoin appears to be thriving under these pressures, 
strengthening its case as a hedge against traditional financial instability.

Breakout Top analyst Carl Runefelt recently highlighted a compelling technical 
development: Bitcoin is forming a massive inverse head and shoulders pattern 
spanning the last four years. This rare and long-term formation typically 
signals a bullish reversal and, if confirmed, could mark the beginning of a 
powerful breakout into price discovery. Runefelt notes that the neckline of 
this pattern aligns with current resistance just below $112K, making the 
coming weeks crucial for market direction. As the crypto market digests 
geopolitical tensions, central bank policy shifts, and on-chain accumulation 
trends, Bitcoin’s ability to stay elevated signals growing investor 
conviction. All eyes are now on whether BTC can complete this historic pattern 
and launch the next leg of the bull run. Bitcoin At A Critical Crossroads 
Bitcoin is trading at a pivotal level that could determine the market’s next 
major move — a breakout into new all-time highs or a retrace toward lower 
demand zones. After surging over 10% since last Sunday, the bullish sentiment 
is building rapidly, but the price remains stuck in a tight range between 
$100,000 and $110,000. Bulls are confident and in control of momentum, yet 
they’ve repeatedly failed to push BTC above the key $110K resistance. At the 
same time, bears have been unable to take the price below the $100K 
psychological support, signaling equilibrium and mounting pressure for a 
breakout. This standoff has kept volatility high, with macroeconomic 
uncertainty and geopolitical instability adding fuel to the fire. Still, the 
current market structure appears constructive for Bitcoin. If bulls can 
finally break above the $110K level and push into price discovery, it would 
confirm the strength behind this rally and potentially spark a new phase of 
exponential growth. Carl Runefelt believes a major breakout may be on the 
horizon. His technical analysis reveals a massive inverse head and shoulders 
pattern forming over the last four years — a rare and highly bullish setup. 
According to Runefelt, traders should be “ready for a crazy pump” if Bitcoin 
breaks through the neckline near $112K. Historically, this type of pattern 
precedes explosive rallies, and given the long-term nature of this one, the 
upside potential could be significant. As long-term holders accumulate and 
market liquidity builds, the coming weeks may determine whether Bitcoin 
cements its breakout or returns to test deeper support. Either way, this 
moment is shaping up to be one of the most decisive junctures in the current 
bull cycle. Related Reading: Ethereum Reclaims $2,444 Level – Bullish 
Continuation In Focus BTC Price Analysis: Key Resistance Blocks Price 
Discovery Bitcoin is currently trading at $107,144 on the daily chart, showing 
modest gains but facing strong resistance as it nears the $109,300 level. The 
chart highlights a clearly defined horizontal structure between $103,600 and 
$109,300 — a range Bitcoin has respected for nearly two months. Bulls remain 
in control short term, having reclaimed all three major moving averages: the 
50-day ($105,800), 100-day ($96,784), and 200-day ($96,136) SMAs. The most 
recent bounce off the $103,600 support zone was followed by rising volume, 
indicating a potential shift in momentum back to the upside. However, BTC has 
yet to close convincingly above $109,300, which continues to cap any price 
discovery attempts. A breakout above this level could open the door to new 
all-time highs and trigger an aggressive bullish continuation. Related

$25–$30 Surge On the downside, failure to breach resistance and a drop below 
$105K could reintroduce bearish pressure and trigger a retest of the lower 
range. For now, Bitcoin remains range-bound with bullish bias, but buyers need 
to follow through with strong volume and a clean break above the $109K barrier 
to fully confirm market intent. Until then, caution is warranted as indecision 
prevails near key resistance. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from
