Bitcoin Short-Term Outlook: Bearish Signal Emerging

BTC is flashing warning signs on the chart today. The critical support level at 100,130 couldn't hold, and that's exactly what I flagged yesterday to subscribers. A breakdown below this key price point typically triggers a retest of recent lows—a pattern we're seeing play out now.

Looking at the distribution cycle framework we track, the price action aligns with the expected pullback phase. While various narratives will probably circulate to explain the move, the technical setup speaks for itself. When major resistance fails to sustain, the next logical target becomes the lower support zone.

This is a reminder to watch those critical levels closely. Sometimes the price tells the real story.

If you can't break through 100130, you have to keep pushing down. This wave still follows the usual pattern; you can't escape the distribution cycle.

100130, if it breaks, it breaks. I'm already tired of this excuse... If it drops, it drops. Anyway, it will fall sooner or later. I'm numb.

Here we go again, if the support level breaks, will it keep falling? Feels like every day is a bearish signal.

ngl this 100,130 support breaking is exactly the kind of move that haunts me at 3am... been there, got liquidated, got the t-shirt. watching those levels is literally the only thing keeping me sane these days lol

Here we go again, the 100,000 level wasn't held... I should have liquidated yesterday.

100130 has been broken. I mentioned it yesterday. This time, it's really going to retest the lows.

Starting to talk about support levels again, saying they can't hold every time, and then the retail investors really believe it. The big funds probably left long ago.

Once the support level is broken, it's broken, nothing more to say. Expect the next low point.
