BTC Outlook May 2025CRYPTO:BTCUSD
Bitcoin Nears Major Resistance – What Comes Next?
As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading around $96,000, climbing steadily as it approaches what I believe is a critical resistance zone between $98,000 and $102,000. This area has the potential to act as a major turning point.
If Bitcoin can break through and hold above the $102,000 level, I believe there's a strong chance we see continued momentum pushing the price toward $120,000 or even higher. However, if Bitcoin is rejected at this resistance zone, it could mark the beginning of a retracement, with the next major support area appearing around the $71,000 level.
This zone of resistance is, in my view, one of the most important to watch in the current cycle. Whether Bitcoin can establish new support above it—or get turned away—could shape the trajectory for the rest of the year.

ETH - When will this downtrend finally stop?Ethereum (ETH) has been stuck in a prolonged downtrend, and the bearish scenario is now playing out. On the 4-hour chart, ETH recently broke below its rising trend line after forming a rising wedge that typically signals further downside. This breakdown confirms the potential for further downside.
At the same time, on the weekly timeframe, ETH has perfectly retested its resistance and failed to push higher, reinforcing overall market weakness. With failing to break resistance it is likely that ETH could face continued weakness and move towards the weekly support area at 1500.
Thanks for your support.
