- Bitcoin underwent a notable correction over the past 24 hours, dropping from $109,239 to a low of $106,670, representing a range of $2,568 (2.35%).
- Donald Trump’s surprise announcement of a 50% tariff on EU imports triggered broad market sell-offs, with Bitcoin quickly falling from local highs near $111.3K.
- Despite the correction, institutional interest remains strong with US spot Bitcoin ETFs witnessing inflows of $934 million on May 22 and $608 million on May 21.
Bitcoin’s recent pullback has established strong volume-based resistance near $108,300, with support forming in the $106,700-$107,000 zone.
The correction accelerated with a notable price surge from $107,373 to $107,671 between 13:06-13:36, followed by a sharp reversal.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin is now trading within a compression zone, trapped between two major fair value gaps that will determine the upcoming market direction.
If bulls reclaim the $109K to $110K area, price could push toward resistance beyond $112K, while a break below $107,000 might test liquidity around $106K.
Technical Analysis Breakdown
- The decline accelerated during the 22:00-23:00 hour on May 24th with exceptionally high volume (16,335 BTC), establishing a strong volume-based resistance near $108,300.
- Support has formed in the $106,700-$107,000 zone where buyers emerged during the 09:00-10:00 period on May 25th, though recovery attempts have been modest with price consolidating around $107,500.
- The overall technical structure suggests a short-term bearish trend with potential for further consolidation before directional clarity emerges.
- Bitcoin experienced significant volatility with a notable price surge from $107,373 to $107,671 between 13:06-13:36, followed by a sharp reversal that saw prices decline to $107,393 by 14:00.
- The most substantial price movement occurred during the 13:35 minute candle where BTC jumped nearly $150 with exceptionally high volume (148.76 BTC), establishing temporary resistance around $107,630.
- Support formed near $107,400 where buyers emerged during the final minutes of the period, though the overall technical structure suggests continued consolidation within the broader correction from the $109,239 high.
