Key points: Bitcoin has a fight for a $100,000 price and a $2 trillion market cap on its hands this month. Dips below six figures are “easily possible,” analyst filbfilb says, but the odds are stacked in bulls’ favor. ETH/BTC needs to hit the 0.03 inflection point as part of an altcoin comeback. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is poised for expansion with BTC price action rarely more “bullish-looking,” an analyst says. In his latest commentary on X, market analyst filbfilb revealed a key support battle now underway on BTC/USD. Filbfilb on $100,000 battle: “This time is no different” Bitcoin has begun to consolidate after making rapid gains this month, with the area just north of $100,000 seeing “choppy” BTC price moves. For filbfilb, however, current market behavior is about more than reclaiming six figures. Bitcoin’s market cap is now fighting to flip the $2 trillion mark from resistance back into firm support after losing it at the start of February, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirms. “Bitcoin is currently at 2 tril resistance btw, its not just 100k,” he told X followers.

Giving his thoughts on the largest altcoin, Ether ( ETH ), versus BTC, filbfilb said that the “trend changes” once ETH/BTC reclaims 0.03, a level also last seen in early February.

Do an exercise and look at other assets; they all do similar stuff,” filbfilb continued, referring to the psychological significance of round-number price points. “Burn the round number after ages of resistance to liquidate shorts, come back to the 80s, then find expansion later. I believe this is no different.” BTC/USD found multimonth lows at around $75,000 in April. As Cointelegraph reported , the event was well supported by onchain reversal signals, with the Hash Ribbons indicators delivering a rare “buy” signal shortly beforehand. ” Honestly ridiculous” Bitcoin continues to field bullish price prognoses from longtime traders and analysts, who agree that the current slowdown is a stepping stone to a rematch with all-time highs near $110,000.

Ridiculous, the more you zoom out, the more insane it looks,” filbfilb added on the outlook. “Short-term pullbacks below 100k are easily possible, however, I haven't seen such a bullish-looking thing in a long time.” BTC/USD 3-day chart with indicator data.
