Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC/USD 30% Selloff Tests Major Support—Bottoming Risk Builds

Bitcoin Technical Forecast: BTC/USD Weekly & Daily Trade Levels

Bitcoin is now down more than 54% from its record high and nearly 30% from the May peak, trading at its lowest levels since September 2024.
BTC/USD is testing a critical long-term support zone that could determine whether the broader selloff stabilizes or accelerates.
Building RSI divergence suggests downside momentum may be fading, raising the threat of an exhaustion low.
The correction is approaching a major technical inflection point where volatility and directional risk are likely to increase.
A break lower would signal a more significant trend reversal and expose deeper downside targets, while a successful defense could set the stage for a broader recovery.

Bitcoin is testing a major long-term support zone after a nearly 30% decline from the May high, bringing BTC/USD into a critical technical inflection point. The selloff has carried price into the lower bounds of the yearly downtrend, but building RSI divergence suggests downside momentum may be starting to fade. The focus in the days ahead is on whether buyers can defend this support zone and spark a recovery attempt, or if a break lower opens the door to another accelerated leg of the decline. Battle lines drawn on the BTC/USD technical charts.

Bitcoin Price Chart – BTC/USD Weekly

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; BTC/USD on TradingView

In last month’s Bitcoin Forecast we noted that BTC/USD was approaching uptrend support and that, “From a trading standpoint, losses would need to be limited to 70,283 for the February uptrend to remain viable…” Bitcoin broke lower the week with a decline of nearly 30% from the May high now testing a critical support zone noted in our 2026 trade of the yearly at 57,885-58,725- a region defined by the 61.8% retracement of the 2022 advance and the August 2024 low-week close (LWC). Note that the lower parallel of the 2025 pitchfork and the 2023 trendline converges on this zone over the next week and the focus is on a possible price inflection off confluent support in the days ahead.

Bitcoin Price Chart – BTC/USD Daily

A closer look at the Bitcoin daily chart shows BTC/USD continuing testing the lower parallel for a second time this month with building RSI divergence highlighting the threat for waning momentum here near-term. Initial resistance is now eyed with the February low close at 62,795 with near-term bearish invalidation now lowered to the June 15 swing high at 67,253.

A break / weekly close below this pivotal support zone would threaten another bout of accelerated losses towards the 100% extension of the 2025 decline at 52,204 and the August 2024 swing low at 49,577. Both levels represent areas of interest for possible downside exhaustion / price inflection IF reached.

Bottom line: Bitcoin is testing confluent support at the lower bounds of the yearly downtrend, and the focus is on reaction off this mark with the immediate short bias is vulnerable while above. From a trading standpoint, rallies would need to be limited to 62,795 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 57,885 needed to fuel the next major leg of the decline. Keep in mind we are on the lookout for a potential exhaustion low in the weeks ahead and as correction matures. Stay nimble here and watch the weekly closes for guidance.
