Bitcoin Prices Drop Below $105K: Weekly Risks Ahead
As of June 5, Bitcoin trades at $103,247, a 1.9% decline over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. With the seven-day drop now at 3.23%, BTC has fallen below the critical $105,149 mark.
Technical trader Dr. Cat warns of potential risks if Bitcoin fails to close this week above $105,149 on Bitstamp, as the Chikou Span could enter the candle range on the weekly chart — a technical breakdown just before a potential bullish Tenkan-Kijun cross expected Monday.
If the uptrend fails to recover above cloud levels, the Ichimoku model suggests a possible multi-week cooldown. The Tenkan Sen has already dropped below the Kijun Sen, with the first downside target standing at the 12-hour Senkou Span B (SSB), roughly around $102,400.
Intensified Spot Selling and Analyst Alarm Bells
In addition to intense spot selling, derivatives-focused analyst Daan Crypto Trades reports a rise in Open Interest (OI) during the current drop, with aggregated funding rates also climbing despite declining prices. This combination often indicates traders opening long positions too early, potentially leading to further liquidations if the price fails to stabilize.
Spot market activity plays a significant role in price support, and reduced buy-side demand often leads to quicker price corrections. Combined with technical breakdowns, this trend places Bitcoin under stress.
Dr. Cat also highlights that, under the Ichimoku model, a broken daily uptrend above the Kumo typically requires at least 26 days or candles to reset bullish momentum, suggesting any potential rebound in BTC price may take time.
