The post What is Bitcoin price going to do next? — Bear trap, bottom, or oversold bounce? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The Bitcoin bounce to $85,000 on Feb. 28 had traders hopeful that a bottom was in could be in peril after BTC (BTC) struggled to secure a higher high candlestick for the daily close.  Data from TRDR.io shows Bitcoin received a strong spot bid at Coinbase as the price fell to a 2025 low at $78,300, but what is yet to be seen is whether or not bulls will be able to provide enough purchasing volume to sustain their current momentum.  BTC/USDT 1-day chart.

TRDR.io Crypto trader Magus suggested that the most likely path forward for Bitcoin is range building in the $72,000 to $85,000 range for a number of weeks.  In a post on X, Magus shared the following chart and said,  “Expecting BTC to build a range like this now.”  BTC/USDT 1-day chart.

As pointed out by crypto trader ‘intern,’ 30% corrections are par for the course during Bitcoin bull markets, and historically, they have proven to be optimal purchase opportunities.  Bitcoin price drawdowns during bull markets.
