Bitcoin price is looking to continue higher toward $105,000 on Friday, having almost fallen below the $100,000 mark, which would have signaled a possible trend reversal. After staging a stunning comeback, Bitcoin is now threatening to breach the $105,000 resistance level.

Bitcoin price: Chart setups look like a 'no win' situation for traders

This move comes after Bitcoin price slid below the crucial $100,000 support on Thursday, leading to a wave of liquidations among leveraged traders.

The swift recovery that ensued not only disproved the emerging bearish structure but also demonstrated the resilience of bulls in the current market cycle. This fakeout is typical of highly leveraged volatile markets—and anyone overexposed is in for a rough time with the current fakeout behavior.

The breakout penalized the shorts, who were anticipating further weakness, while the breakdown flushed out the longs, taking both long and short traders by surprise.

Technically, Bitcoin is currently trading just below recent resistance after regaining the local high. At the moment, there isn’t much evidence of bearish divergence, but momentum indicators are still hot, and the RSI is above 70, which might indicate overbought trading conditions.

The volume level is dropping a little, which could indicate a brief period of exhaustion or simply a cooldown before the next move.

If Bitcoin can sustain this momentum and stay above $105,000, it could push toward new highs. However, the possibility of another trap or whipsaw move is still very high—if it is rejected at this stage once more.

Essentially, Bitcoin has once again demonstrated why it is the king of uncertainty.

While the recent rally is impressive, the aftermath of that fakeout serves as a reminder that the market's goal in the cryptocurrency space is to inflict pain on as many traders as possible, particularly those who become arrogant when using leverage.

Dogecoin price trapped in no man's land as STX soars

With the asset displaying signs of fatigue as volatility recedes from the chart, Dogecoin price is currently trapped in a frustrating no man's land.

Having recently surged above significant resistance levels earlier this month, DOGE has failed to capitalize on the momentum and has entered a low-energy correction phase that is beginning to drain market sentiment.

The price is circling around the $0.22 mark, but what is more concerning than the price is the lack of movement. There seems to be an element of indecision among traders as the candlestick structure is forming a descending triangle, or wedge.

The bright spot is that the volume has decreased noticeably, which usually signals a big move. A short-term neutral-to-bearish stance is suggested by the 26 EMA’s current technical intersection with mid-term indicators.

Dogecoin price is currently trading above the 50 EMA and the 100 EMA as support.

However, in the absence of a clear catalyst, the market appears to be in waiting mode. Although it is still elevated, the RSI is sliding below the overbought zone, suggesting that there is still some latent bullish sentiment that is not strong enough to influence the present price action.

DOGE is essentially in a holding pattern until it breaks above $0.24 or below $0.21. Traders should keep an eye on volume and EMA compression because Dogecoin is expected to explode once this slumber is over. The only question is: which direction will it take?

Solana price setting up for surprise breakout as PPT prepares for meeting

Pressure is steadily increasing on Solana, and a surprise breakout could be in sight.

The asset has entered a consolidation phase following a robust rally in late April and early May, forming a descending wedge pattern just below the crucial $170 resistance level.

This structure and proximity to the 200 EMA make Solana a strong contender for a volatility-driven move.

Solana price is currently trading at a technical inflection point at $167. The 200 EMA is acting as both a magnet and a barrier, converging almost precisely with the point at which the price action is coiling.

This type of setup has often been seen in the past ahead of a decisive breakout, especially when shorter-term exponential moving averages such as the 26 EMA begin to intersect with longer-term indicators.

This setup is further strengthened by the upcoming cross between the 26 EMA and the 200 EMA. This bullish crossover could be a major technical confirmation of a trend reversal, a setup that usually attracts momentum. In combination with a breakout above $170, this signal has the potential to trigger a strong bullish wave that could propel Solana closer to the $190 zone and beyond.

Although volume has cooled off somewhat, Solana's RSI is still above
