Bitcoin Tests $106K Pivot as $107K–$110K Resistance Holds and ‘Death Cross’ Looms

ETF prints plus options skew now set the bar for confirming any rebound above this zone.

Overview

  • Bitcoin trades near $105,000–$106,000 after a weekend rebound, with Monday’s push stalling at $107,400 before easing back.
  • Rejection near $107,250 reinforces a bearish near‑term setup, and a 50/200‑day SMA “death cross” is nearing even as recent crosses proved unreliable.
  • Analysts flag $108,000–$110,000, including the 200‑day moving average, as the clearance needed for a durable recovery, with interim hurdles at $109,400, $111,000 and then $116,000.
  • Flows and positioning remain a headwind as recent U.S. spot ETF data show choppy outflows and options skew leans toward puts, with calls for multi‑day inflows and a skew flip to validate upside.
  • Market depth has kept price above $100,000 despite ETF redemptions and older‑wallet selling, though 10x Research warns a break could expose a liquidity gap toward ~$93,000; Strategy disclosed a 487 BTC purchase last week.
