While the price action remains choppy, it is still respecting the key structural levels despite heavy liquidations and sentiment shifts. The market is in a critical phase, sitting near mid-range support with weak bullish momentum and macro uncertainties looming. Buyers are holding the line for now, but there\u2019s caution in the air.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"technical-analysis\">Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>By Shayan<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-daily-chart\">The Daily Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the daily chart, BTC is reacting to the 0.5 Fib retracement at $100.3k after being held at the strong demand zone at $100k.\u00a0 The asset is still below both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, both located around the $110k mark, which signals that momentum is tilted to the downside in the broader trend. The recent bounce failed to reclaim the key supply zone at $106,000, which is now acting as a resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The RSI also sits around 41, still below the mid-level, confirming weak bullish conviction. If the bounce loses steam, the next key level is the 0.618 Fib near $94,250, followed by a deeper retracement toward the $90k zone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTC-Daily-2-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-4-hour-chart\">The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows that the price is still trading within a clear descending wedge. Despite the recent bullish bounce from the $100k level, the rejection from the $106k region indicates sellers are defending that level aggressively. Until the wedge breaks to the upside with strong volume, this remains a corrective bounce within a broader downtrend.<\/p>\n<p>Short-term RSI is also rebounding from oversold conditions and now prints around 47, which is neutral but not yet showing strength. If Bitcoin can flip $106K convincingly, it opens up a test of the $110K level. Otherwise, another sweep of the lows around $100K or even the $98K level remains likely.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BTC-4H-6-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1419872\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=300,h=158 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1024,h=538 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=768,h=404 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1536,h=807 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=2048,h=1076 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=90,h=47 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=150,h=79 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=2000,h=1051 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1600,h=841 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1400,h=736 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1200,h=631 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=1000,h=525 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=900,h=473 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=800,h=420 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=700,h=368 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=600,h=315 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=500,h=263 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=400,h=210 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=200,h=105 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0c692634-208c-4d99-1c22-3501c4efda00\/w=100,h=53 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"on-chain-analysis\">On-Chain Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"short-term-holder-sopr-30-day-ema\">Short-Term Holder SOPR (30-Day EMA)<\/h3>\n<p>Short-Term Holder SOPR is once again trading below 1.
