Bitcoin Price Watch: Can Bitcoin Smash Through the $110K Barrier?

Bitcoin’s price action has been relatively stable in recent days, currently 
trading just above $107,000 after briefly touching previous highs near 
$108,000. Amid this backdrop, technical analysis from a popular crypto analyst 
on the TradingView platform outlined a compelling structural setup forming on 
Bitcoin’s daily chart. The analysis shows that Bitcoin&#8217;s action is in a 
compression phase that could precede a breakout to $115,000 very soon. Related

Role Compression Structure Forming Below $108,000 Resistance Bitcoin&#8217;s price 
action is currently following movements in traditional risk assets like the 
S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq, both of which have recovered following the recent de- 
escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, 
crypto analyst RLinda shared an outlook on TradingView that highlights a 
structural setup forming on the D1 chart and predicts a breakout to as high as 
$115,000 if some resistance levels are cleared. According to RLinda, Bitcoin 
is in the middle of a compression phase just below the $108,100 resistance 
level. This follows what the analyst describes as a false breakout above 
$100,000, which led to a brief distribution and now an active accumulation 
zone. The daily chart shows price action gradually tightening within the 
$106,500 to $108,100 range since June 25, the essence of which the analyst 
called a pause for a breather before a possible continuation of growth. The 
current setup has already established well-defined boundaries, with support at 
$106,500 and $108,100 as immediate resistance. A breakout above this immediate 
resistance would pave the way for the next resistance around $110,400 and 
bring Bitcoin within striking distance of its all-time high at $111,000. On 
the other hand, a short-term pullback toward $105,650 is still possible before 
a new move to the upside. Bitcoin Price Levels To Watch Bitcoin&#8217;s price action 
is really pressing on this resistance level around $108,000 and is building 
momentum for a breakout once the price level gives way. The key resistance 
levels to monitor are stacked around $108,100, $108,900, and $110,400. As long 
as the structure between $106,500 and $108,100 holds, and Bitcoin&#8217;s price is 
sticky near the top of that zone, the breakout scenario becomes increasingly 
probable. Although there are currently no reasons for a decline on the daily 
and weekly candlestick charts, the analyst noted that a temporary pullback to 
$105,650 or even $104,650 cannot be ruled out. However, even such a pullback 
would likely only serve as a retest but still keep the broader setup intact.

the past 24 hours. The breakout trigger is still at $108,100. If broken,
