\nData from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC\/USD hitting new seven-week highs above $95,000.
\nHaving preserved its yearly open at $93,500 as intraday support, Bitcoin went on to liquidate leveraged shorts as $100,000 came closer.

\n\u201cTrading back above the Bull Market Support band as we speak,\u201d he wrote in an X post, referring to a cluster of moving averages lost as support earlier in 2025.
\n\u201cA weekly close above this level would be a good look for the larger timeframe and I’d expect new highs at some point as long as it holds above.\u201d

\n\u201cPrice would be a lot lower than it is now without the passive buyer matching this market selling,\u201d he warned alongside an order book print.
\n\u201cEventually one will throw in the towel & volatility will follow through.\u201d

\nContinuing, Keith Alan, cofounder of trading resource Material Indicators, likewise doubted whether BTC\/USD could sustain a trip above $95,000.

\nAlan noted declining volume as price moved higher, repeated wicks below the yearly open and a \u201cdown\u201d signal on one of Material Indicators\u2019 proprietary trading tools.
\n\u201cFor me, a pump above $95k would invalidate the new signal, but I’d probably consider such a move to be a short squeeze unless we have a catalyst with some substance behind it,\u201d he summarized.

\nIn its latest bulletin to Telegram channel subscribers, trading firm QCP Capital argued that Bitcoin lacked a $100,000 \u201ccatalyst.\u201d
\n\u201cGiven the pace of the recent rally, we remain tactically cautious,\u201d it wrote.
\n\u201cPositioning has become more crowded, which could lead to sharper reactions around key levels. Market participants appear to be watching closely for signs of continuation or exhaustion.\u201d
