BTC Technical Outlook: Recovery Attempt Builds After Deep Corrective Phase



Bitcoin remains within a broader corrective structure after the sharp rejection from the $116K–$126K macro supply zone (0.786–1 Fib). That rejection marked a distribution top, followed by a strong bearish continuation into the $80K–$90K demand region.

Recent price action shows BTC rebounding from the lower demand base, forming a rounded recovery structure with higher lows. Momentum has improved, though the higher-timeframe trend has not yet fully shifted bullish.

EMA Structure (Bearish Bias, Improving Short-Term Momentum)

20 EMA: $91,838
50 EMA: $92,081
100 EMA: $96,017
200 EMA: $99,559

BTC has reclaimed the 20 & 50 EMA, signaling short-term bullish momentum. However, price remains below the 100 & 200 EMA, keeping the medium- to long-term structure corrective.

The $96K–$100K zone represents a major dynamic resistance cluster, where selling pressure is likely to increase.

Fibonacci & Price Structure

1 Fib: $126,123
0.786 Fib: $116,399
0.618 Fib: $108,766
0.5 Fib: $103,405
0.382 Fib: $98,043
0.236 Fib: $91,410
Fib 0: $80,687

BTC is currently trading just above the 0.236 Fib ($91.4K), which now acts as a key structural pivot. Sustained acceptance above this level opens the door for a move toward $98K–$103K, where Fib resistance and EMA confluence align.

Failure to hold above $91K–$92K would weaken the recovery structure and increase the risk of a retest of the $88K–$80K macro demand zone.

Structural Context

Price action shows higher lows since the December bottom, indicating early accumulation behavior. However, BTC remains below major overhead resistance, keeping the current move classified as a corrective recovery rather than a confirmed trend reversal.

A decisive daily close above $100K–$103K would be required to shift market structure back toward bullish continuation.

RSI Momentum

RSI (14): 64

RSI is above neutral, reflecting improving momentum and increasing buyer participation. RSI approaching the upper range suggests possible short-term consolidation near resistance before continuation.

📊 Key Levels

Resistance

$96,000–$98,000 (0.382 Fib / EMA cluster)

$99,500–$100,000 (200 EMA / psychological)

$103,400 (0.5 Fib)

$108,800 (0.618 Fib)

Support

$92,000–$91,400 (0.236 Fib)

$89,700–$88,300 (range support)

$80,700 (Fib 0 / macro demand)

📌 Summary

BTC is attempting a structured recovery after defending a major long-term demand zone. While short-term momentum has turned positive, the broader structure remains corrective unless price can reclaim $98K–$103K with strength. Until that occurs, upside moves are likely to face heavy resistance, keeping BTC in a range-bound recovery phase.
