Bitcoin is showing signs of fatigue after reaching a new all-time high of $111,814 on May 22. Since then, Bitcoin has had multiple failed attempts to break above this level, which has led to an increase in bearish pressure. Over the past several days, price action has begun forming a sequence of lower highs on the 4-hour timeframe, which, according to technical analysis on the TradingView platform, is interpreted as a signal that bullish momentum may be losing steam. Resistance Rejects Again With Double Top Risk The analyst behind the TradingView post highlighted the clear rejection pattern near the $111,000 to $112,000 zone, which Bitcoin has repeatedly tested since last week but has failed to break through. This repeated failure to break higher says that bullish momentum is fading fast, especially as retail buyers are now somewhat hesitant to buy at this zone.

Given the weakening follow-through on each upward attempt, this setup could be the early signal of a more significant market reversal in the days ahead. With this in mind, the analyst illustrated this outlook with a projected zigzag path on a 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart, anticipating that another rejection from the resistance band could trigger a cascading move downward. Furthermore, these multiple rejections have led to a simultaneous weakening of support around $105,000, and this level could give way at any time soon. Bitcoin Might Drop To $102,000 Support Zone If this projected zigzag path plays out, Bitcoin’s price could break lower in the coming days and head toward a support area located between $101,000 and $102,000. This zone comes into focus because it acted as a strong support level between May 14 and May 19. Bitcoin eventually found footing around this level to stage a rebound that ultimately pushed it to the all-time high of $111,900 reached on May 22.

This analysis addresses that potential, and Bitcoin could revisit the $101,000 to $102,000 before another leg up. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $105,272, down by 2.5% in the past 24 hours. The $106,800 support level has already given way, and the focus is now on holding above $105,000. If Bitcoin fails to hold above $105,000 in the coming trading sessions, it could lead to a cascading downturn towards $101,000 during the weekend.
