The recent upward expansion has pushed the market back toward key resistance levels, while momentum indicators and market structure suggest that BTC is attempting to transition from a corrective phase into a broader bullish continuation. However, the market is now approaching a decisive area where confirmation is required before a sustained rally can unfold.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bitcoin-price-analysis-the-daily-chart\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily timeframe, BTC has recently displayed notable bullish momentum and managed to slightly break above the upper boundary of the ascending channel that has contained the price action for the past several months. This breakout is an important technical development, as it signals strengthening buyer dominance after weeks of gradual accumulation. Nevertheless, the breakout still requires confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>If the price stabilizes above the channel\u2019s upper boundary at $80K and forms a successful pullback toward it, the breakout would likely be validated, opening the door for another bullish leg toward higher resistance zones. At the same time, Bitcoin is approaching a major resistance confluence around the $83K range, where the 200-day moving average is currently located.<\/p>\n<p>This area could temporarily slow the bullish momentum. In this structure, the broken price channel now acts as dynamic support, while the $83K-$85K region remains the next major hurdle for buyers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-D-2.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-usdt-4-hour-chart\">BTC\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, a new ascending price channel has emerged, highlighted by the yellow structure. The market has been respecting both the upper and lower boundaries of this formation, indicating an orderly bullish trend in the short term. Bitcoin is currently trading near a significant resistance zone around the $81K-$84K range, represented by the green supply region.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the $75K-$78K region, highlighted by the brown box, is acting as the main short-term support. Given the proximity to resistance and the recent sharp rally, the market is likely to experience consolidation and fluctuating price action within this channel over the coming days. A breakout above the $81K-$84K resistance could trigger continuation toward higher levels, while a rejection and breakdown below the $75K-$78K support may lead to a deeper correction within the broader structure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-4H-2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1436384\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=9999\" alt=\"\" width=\"1786\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1786 1786w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=300,h=189 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1024,h=645 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=768,h=484 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1536,h=968 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=90,h=57 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=143,h=90 143w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1600,h=1008 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1400,h=882 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1200,h=756 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=1000,h=630 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=900,h=567 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=800,h=504 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=700,h=441 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=600,h=378 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=500,h=315 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=400,h=252 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=200,h=126 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/2285a285-ea44-4bc3-ddbd-5365bfa0a100\/w=100,h=63 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1786px) 100vw, 1786px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sentiment-analysis\">Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>From a liquidation perspective, the heatmap indicates that Bitcoin has recently swept through a large portion of the liquidity concentrated around the $80K region. This suggests that a significant number of short positions have already been liquidated during the recent rally.<\/p>\n<p>However, notable liquidity clusters still remain above the current market price, particularly around the $85K-$95K region, making these levels attractive targets for further upside expansion and potential short squeezes. On the other hand, substantial liquidity pools continue to exist at lower price levels, especially below the $60K-$70K range. These deeper liquidity zones could still attract price in the coming months if broader market conditions weaken or if the current breakout fails to sustain itself.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Bitcoin is showing improving bullish momentum after reclaiming key technical levels, but the market is now entering a critical resistance zone. The interaction between the broken ascending channel, the 200-day moving average around $88K-$90K, and the surrounding liquidity clusters will likely determine whether BTC can sustain a broader uptrend or enter another consolidation phase before the next major move.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTC-Liquidation-Heatmap1-month-2026-05-06_11_12_47-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1436383\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=300,h=177 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1024,h=605 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=768,h=453 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1536,h=907 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=2048,h=1209 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=90,h=53 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=150,h=90 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=2000,h=1181 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1600,h=945 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1400,h=827 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1200,h=709 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=1000,h=590 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=900,h=531 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=800,h=472 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=700,h=413 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=600,h=354 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=500,h=295 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=400,h=236 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=200,h=118 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/10a2b58f-d8fe-4258-36ac-ee1260d04500\/w=100,h=59 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;
