Bitcoin’s Critical Support Levels: A Crucial Moment
As Bitcoin (BTC) fluctuates within the mid-$90,000 range, renowned cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has issued a warning: breaching a vital support level could result in a significant downturn, potentially driving the leading cryptocurrency down to $83,444.

The Importance of Maintaining Key Support Levels
In a recent post on X, Martinez emphasized the necessity for BTC to maintain its ‘most critical’ support threshold at $93,198. Should Bitcoin fail to hold this line, it might face a substantial price decrease, potentially reaching $83,444. This concern is amplified by a notable decline in the number of wallets holding one or more BTC, which has dropped by 3,400 over the past two months. This trend indicates that many investors are opting to take profits at current price levels rather than accumulating more.
Whale Activity and Market Volatility
Adding to the cautious sentiment, Martinez pointed out that significant Bitcoin holders, commonly referred to as “whales,” have sold off nearly 50,000 BTC within the last ten days. Such actions often precede short-term price corrections or periods of sideways movement. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price action remains uncertain. According to crypto trader Ash Crypto, BTC is dealing with two unfilled Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures gaps—one between $96,440 and $97,680 on the upside and another between $91,360 and $92,520 on the downside.
Potential Price Movements and Market Predictions
Ash Crypto suggests a “high probability” of BTC moving downwards to close the lower gap first. Following this, Bitcoin could potentially rebound, possibly surpassing the $100,000 threshold later this month. Offering a more optimistic viewpoint, analyst Ted identified that BTC is currently in the Wyckoff accumulation phase. Ted remarked, “Bitcoin is at a pivotal resistance level, which could result in some consolidation. It’s likely that BTC will retest the $92K-$93K range before rallying further.”
Market Anticipation Ahead of the FOMC Meeting
The upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is keenly anticipated by traders and investors. While the US Federal Reserve is expected to maintain steady interest rates, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks could significantly influence risk assets, including Bitcoin. Despite technical indicators hinting at some underlying fragility in the crypto market, on-chain metrics reveal signs of a potential supply squeeze as exchange reserves continue their downward trend. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,706, marking a 0.8% increase over the past 24 hours.
