Bitcoin is currently retesting the broken downward channel. This selloff was a market shock reaction due to Israel's airstrikes on Iran. Price found support around $103k, at the daily timeframe 50SMA. The daily 50SMA also served as support in the previous drop to $100k last week.
In the chart's red circle is likely where many long leveraged positions had their stop losses or liquidation levels. We can safely assume this event was a liquidity hunt as Bitcoin remains strong above $100k. A healthy pullback to retest.
Historically, we have seen similar market shock selloffs like this. One example is the 1st of October 2024 Iran strikes on Israel. Bitcoin crashed 5% from $63k to $60k. What followed after was a recovery to over $100k, never seeing $60k again.
Will Bitcoin recover?
We still have multiple bullish developments. Institutions are becoming increasingly interested in Bitcoin, the US Bitcoin reserve, SEC x Ripple case settlement, SOL ETF approval, Fed rate cuts, among others.
Provided that the conflict does not escalate, once the market panic reaction is over, we can expect a healthy bullish continuation, as long as Bitcoin remains above $100k.
We also have a massive pool of short liquidity above $111k. Once we break above this level it will be a short-squeeze to $120k.

Trade active
Buyers are strongly defending the $105k support which is also the daily timeframe 50MA, amidst escalating middle east tensions. This shows investor confidence in Bitcoin.
This week, we should hear about the SEC vs Ripple case settlement which will further boost confidence in the entire crypto market.
We should see $110k very soon, and a short squeeze to $120k once $111k level is reached.
Note
Ascending triangle pattern is forming. A bullish sign. What we need to see next is BTC breaking and closing above $106k.
Note
Price faked out below the triangle for a final $105k retest, where buyers quickly showed strength. Bitcoin now trades above $106k.
Trade closed manually
Taking profit on the trade here; we are now in a bearish trend as geopolitical tensions rise. Buyers are nowhere to be found in the current move down- Bitcoin basically waterfalled down with zero resistance. A very bad sign.
Will look for another entry later when everything stabilizes.
