Bitcoin Stalls Below $108K As Descending Triangle Squeezes Price Toward Breakout Point

BTC price is trending in a descending triangle pattern at around $107,600.

The Ichimoku cloud still serves as an important support zone at the mark of 104,000.

The short-term trend direction will be decided by a breakout or breakdown.

Bitcoin continues to accumulate beneath key resistance while trading hands at $107,635.06, according to the recent market reports. The cryptocurrency price action continues to be in a bearish falling triangle on the daily chart. Despite multiple lower highs since June, the Ichimoku cloud offers a strong support area around $104,000.

The day's chart has Bitcoin just above this level of support, and the Ichimoku cloud serving as a moving floor. However, the failure to break over the declining line of resistance again and again has restrained momentum. Price advanced to $108,109 on June 29 before falling back, exhibiting continued indecision. Interestingly, 24-hour volume rose to $48.12 billion, a virtual 14% gain, reflecting heightened market action.

Descending Triangle Defines Market Structure

Bitcoin’s current pattern forms a descending triangle, characterized by consistent lower highs and horizontal support. The resistance trendline has been tested several times since late May, each time resulting in a pullback. As of July 2, BTC has failed to close above the trendline, which remains a critical resistance level near $108,000.

The horizontal support around $104,000 aligns with the bottom of the Ichimoku cloud. Buyers have defended this zone multiple times in recent weeks. Importantly, the cloud has so far absorbed downward price pressure, reinforcing its significance in this range-bound environment. The lower wick from the June 24 candlestick further confirms that buyers stepped in near the support level.

Ichimoku Cloud Remains Pivotal for Price Direction

While Bitcoin’s price hovers above $106,000, the Ichimoku cloud continues to anchor short-term support. This indicator remains spread across the $103,000 to $105,000 zone, forming a strong base. Additionally, the daily candle on July 2 has so far respected the top of the cloud, showing limited downside momentum.
