A federal court ruling blocking President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Wednesday helped boost risk appetite among traders, leading to a recovery in cryptocurrencies from early dips.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell sharply in the early trading hours, dipping below the $107,000 level before recovering to trade above $108,000 by press time. The world’s largest cryptocurrency had lost 0.45% over the last 24 hours.
At least two technical indicators also signaled a potential bottom in BTC, which had been struggling to stay above the lower limit of a channel on its 4-hour chart, according to cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez.
One indicator is the lower boundary of the channel, which had previously served as support.
“A break below this level could open the door for further declines,” Martinez said.
The second indicator is a “buy” signal from the TD Sequential indicator on BTC’s hourly chart.
The TD Sequential indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify potential price reversals and exhaustion patterns.
In the case of the TD Sequential indicator, a 9 count can be used to predict a top or bottom in a given time frame.
Another widely followed cryptocurrency investor, known by the pseudonym Scient, said BTC could hit a new all-time high “in a couple of days,” provided it could hold above $107,974—the upper boundary of a “box” that they highlighted.
“If we fall under the box, $102,000 is a good support for scalp longs, but it will invite a lot of sell pressure when we test $108,000 from underside,” they said.
