Potential Short-Term Bitcoin Price Drop Predicted
Bitcoin traders should prepare for a potential short-term price correction, according to prominent chart analyst Ali Martinez. Despite Bitcoin’s slight decline of 0.5% over the past 24 hours, bringing its price to $70,834.5, Martinez highlights a crucial support level at $68,500.
Bitcoin Price Correction Ahead
Martinez suggests a short-term correction for Bitcoin (BTC) as the TD Sequential indicator signals a sell-off on the four-hour chart. This indicator points to a possible one- to four-candlestick correction before Bitcoin resumes its upward trend.

Crucial Support at $68,500
Martinez identifies $68,500 as the critical support level for Bitcoin. Maintaining this level could pave the way for further upward movement. Recently, Bitcoin broke out of a symmetrical triangle at $69,000, signaling a bullish trend. The pivot point is at $68,500, with immediate resistance at $71,200.
Despite these positive indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 66.95, suggesting overbought conditions and hinting at a potential price correction.
Bitcoin Dominance Continues
Bitcoin’s market dominance remains robust at 54.53%, indicating sustained confidence from both institutional and retail investors. This strength persists despite the recent approval of a spot Ethereum ETF, demonstrating Bitcoin’s continued popularity in the crypto market. Additionally, the recent surge in inflows follows the approval and listing of Bitcoin-regulated funds in Australia, the U.K., and Thailand.
