As per the above image, the confluent support zone, identified as a critical level for BTC, has provided a floor for the cryptocurrency to stabilize and gain momentum. As of now, Bitcoin price is challenging the upper limit of the range at $106K, signaling a possible move toward new all-time highs.
Rekt Capital highlighted the importance of a daily close above the $106K resistance, followed by a post-breakout retest, as key indicators of a historic rally. Another Bitcoin model also predicts that the BTC bull run is just half complete at the moment.

What Happens If BTC Faces Rejection At $106K?
Taking a contra bet, analyst Justin Bennet has expressed skepticism about Bitcoin’s recent surge, suggesting it may lose momentum following the Trump inauguration. In a post on the X platform, Bennet wrote: “Bitcoin pumped into the Trump inauguration, so there’s a good chance the rally fades from here.”
The analyst stated that he’s holding a short position for BTC at the current price levels. Highlighting Bitcoin’s current market structure, Bennett described the cryptocurrency as “range-bound until proven otherwise” and pointed to the January 13th lower wick as a potential target for a retest. This means that the Bitcoin price could retrace back under $92,000 as per the below chart.
