“This week is absolutely critical,” Woo wrote. “If we do not get follow-through, then we will be up for another consolidation period.” He pointed to the current behavior of speculators entering long positions late and noted signs of profit-taking based on the Bitcoin Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), which reflects the difference between buying and selling prices.
Woo believes BTC is now in a “pivot zone,” with the outcome of this week’s price action likely to determine the trajectory for the next month or two. Despite the near-term risks, he remains optimistic about the bigger picture. “Buy-side liquidity is dominating,” Woo added, suggesting that long-term fundamentals remain strong.
Pressure Builds Near Key Price Levels
In addition to Woo’s remarks, analysts at crypto exchange Bitunix echoed concerns around a potential short-term pullback. They emphasized that BTC is facing technical resistance around $110,800 — a level where recent rallies have stalled and which now serves as a battleground between bullish and bearish traders.
Support at $108,000 has proven significant over the past two days, but Bitunix cautioned that a break below this level could trigger more profit-taking and shift the market bias toward the downside.
A slight rebound in U.S. consumer sentiment this week could provide a short-term boost to risk appetite, but analysts agree that without a clear breakout above resistance, Bitcoin may continue moving sideways for a while.
Bitcoin Bold Predictions Amid Uncertain Near-Term Outlook
Despite the immediate uncertainty, some big names remain highly bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump predicted BTC could hit $170,000 by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back went even further, forecasting a $1 million BTC price within five years.
At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $108,785, with no major movement in the past 24 hours. It struggled to gain traction above $108,000 in early trading on May 29.
