A daily session close below $104.6k would be the first step to show the range was truly breached.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, the build-up of liquidity around $103k-$104k could be tested, but might not be a bearish continuation signal.<\/p>\n<p>As the daily candlewicks of the past week revealed, a move south could be followed by a bounce. The chance of such a bounce has diminished over time. This can be evidenced by the OBV falling below the early June low and testing as resistance over the past 24 hours. The RSI flashed bearish momentum as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoins Importance of $102k-level for Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_503109\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-503109\" alt=\"bitcoins Bitcoin 4-hour Chart\" width=\"1940\" height=\"1010\"   data-old-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201940%201010'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart.png 1940w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart-1024x533.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart-1536x800.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart-1200x625.png 1200w\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Bitcoin-4-hour-Chart.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-503109\">Source: BTC\/USDT on TradingView<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, the rally from $100.3k to $110.5k was used to plot a set of Fibonacci retracement levels (pale purple). The 50% and 61.8% levels have been important over the past week, especially the latter at $104.2k.<\/p>\n<p>The failure of this Fib level would mean that $102.5k will emerge as the next target. Beneath that, the $101.5-$102k range marked the bullish order block where the rally earlier in June began.<\/p>\n<p>The OBV on the H4 chart showed sellers had the upper hand recently. At press time, the price structure and momentum were also bearish.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Bitcoin MVRV Deviation Pricing Bands revealed that $102.5k was a support level at the +0.5\u03c3-level.<\/p>\n<p>The price being above this level may be a sign that the market is still in its early bull phase. A move beyond +1.0\u03c3, now at $122k, would signal a local top.<\/p>\n<p><i>Disclaimer: The information presented does not constitute financial, investment, trading, or other types of advice and is solely the writer\u2019s opinion<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-del=\"avatar\" alt=\"bitcoins Avatar\" height=\"140\" width=\"140\" data-old-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20140%20140'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-20240403-WA00082-e1712207583881-150x150.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SAkashnath\" alt=\"Twitter\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Author Twitter\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/akashnath-sumukar-2295ab164n\/\" alt=\"LinkedIn\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Author LinkedIn\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Akashnath S is a Senior Journalist and Technical Analysis expert at AMBCrypto.
