Bitcoin bulls should 'be careful with longs' as BTC price risks $100K breakdown

Key takeaways: Bitcoin dropped over 4.5% on May 19, confirming a bearish divergence and threatening a break below $100,000. Analysts highlight $97,000–$98,500 as key support that the bulls must hold. A potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern points to a retest of $91,000 before any bullish continuation. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is down over 4.5% from its intraday high on May 19, falling to around $102,000 in its worst daily drop in over a month. BTC/USD daily price chart. Source: TradingView BTC’s drop accompanied downside moves elsewhere in the risk market, prompted by Moody’s latest downgrade of the US government due to a rising budget deficit and the lack of a credible fiscal consolidation plan. The decline confirms a bearish divergence and, combined with other technical factors, raises the risk of a BTC price breakdown below $100,000, a key support level. Bitcoin’s bearish divergence hints at sub-$100K Bitcoin’s price action showed technical weakness ahead of its May 19 sell-off. On May 19, BTC pushed to a new local high above $107,000, but its relative strength index (RSI) printed a lower high, confirming a classic bearish divergence.

Swissblock identifies the $97,000–$98,500 range as a key downside target based on historical onchain volume and trading activity if the $101,500-102,500 area fails to hold. Bitcoin’s H&S pattern targets $91,000 On the three-day chart, Bitcoin is forming the right shoulder of a potential inverse-head-and-shoulders pattern. While typically bullish in the long term, this setup implies a short-term retest of the 50-period exponential moving average (50-period EMA; the red wave) near $91,000. BTC/USD three-day price chart.
