Bitcoin clings to $67K but analysis warns of 10% BTC price drop next

Bitcoin bulls are enjoying 10% month-to-date gains currently, but one trader warns that the picture should soon look very different for BTC price action.

Bitcoin (BTC) circled $67,000 on May 19 as liquidity around spot price strengthened into the weekly close.

Bitcoin resistance levels crystallize around $70,000

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed bulls holding the week’s upside, with month-to-date gains now above 10%.

Analyzing hurdles to overcome, popular trader Daan Crypto Trades noted that $72,000 now represented the largest resistance zone.

“Price did take out a big cluster around 67.4K but there’s still some big levels at ~$68K. ~$72K onwards is where most liquidity lies atm,” he wrote in part of a post on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a chart from monitoring resource CoinGlass.

“Below, most has been cleared with the recent downtrend, first noteworthy level would be the ~$60K region.”

Closer to spot price, concentrations of liquidity focused on $66,500 and $67,800, respectively, at the time of writing.

Continuing, Daan Crypto Trades flagged the significance of Bitcoin’s 100-day moving average (MA) as a long-term support level.

“This will be a good indicator going forward to gauge mid/high timeframe momentum,” he commented.

Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital furthered the hopeful outlook for Bitcoin, suggesting that just 1% BTC price upside stood between current action and a new chapter in the bull market.

“BTC only needs to drop an additional -1% to perform the post Bull Flag breakout retest attempt in an effort to secure trend continuation to the upside,” he explained while examining daily timeframes.

More conservative views on recent BTC price action came, among others, from fellow trader and commentator Credible Crypto.

An X post on May 17 suggested that upside was now all but complete, and that BTC/USD should return to retest $60,000 — or lower.

“At this point, I think we will, at minimum, tag the 59-60k region,” he warned alongside a chart.

“The blue zone at 62-63k is still an area of interest that may offer some temporary relief, but ultimately I think it will give way.”

Credible Crypto added that altcoins would suffer more acute losses should that scenario play out.

“A move down to 59-60k on $BTC is a 10% drop- on many alts their respective drops will be much more,” he concluded.
