Bitcoin Pullback: Most Misread It—Technical Signals Reveal What's Next

Bitcoin's price has cooled off recently, but this move is not a trend reversal—it's a normal correction after technical indicators reached overbought levels. Across multiple timeframes, key indicators are resetting and building momentum for the next leg up. Ethereum has confirmed a breakout above a key resistance zone, while Solana is once again testing overhead resistance. This article breaks down the current market structure and the key levels to watch.

Bitcoin: Weekly Trend Indicator Nearing Bullish Flip

On the weekly timeframe, the long-term trend indicator remains in bearish territory but is approaching the threshold for a bullish flip. This indicator has maintained a bearish signal since the bear market began in late 2025, and if the price can confirm a move above $80,000—especially a weekly close above that level—it would trigger a bullish flip and release a bull market signal. This has not been confirmed yet, but it could happen within the coming weeks.

From a longer-term perspective, Bitcoin's weekly chart has been showing a bullish divergence pattern since the lows below $60,000, and this pattern is still unfolding. Historically, the last similar weekly bullish divergence appeared at the bottom of the 2022 bear market and provided an excellent buying window for long-term holders. Such signals are long-term trend references rather than short-term trading guides.

Multi-Timeframe Resistance and Liquidity Distribution

On the 3-day chart, Bitcoin has broken above the previous resistance zone of $73,000–$75,000, with the next resistance at $80,000–$82,000. The 3-day RSI is approaching overbought but has not hit extremes, leaving a little room for short-term upside. On the daily timeframe, RSI has already entered overbought territory, which is the direct cause of the recent minor pullback.

Structurally, the daily chart still maintains higher lows and higher highs—the bullish trend is intact. This pullback is a technical cooldown after overbought conditions, not a trend reversal. On the 4-hour chart, the price action over the past one to two days has been as expected: a slight pullback with sideways consolidation, allowing RSI to reset.

Regarding liquidity distribution, there is a lack of significant liquidity pools below the current price. The nearest major downside liquidity sits around $62,000, roughly 20% away, with a low probability of being tapped in the short term. On the upside, the $80,000–$81,200 area is accumulating liquidity and serves as a potential target for the next upward move. However, $80,000–$82,000 also acts as resistance, so the first test could see a battle.

Ethereum: Break Above $2,400, Next Target $2,750–$2,800

On the 3-day chart, Ethereum has confirmed a close above $2,400, breaking through the upper boundary of the previous resistance zone. The price is currently holding above this level, providing initial validation of the breakout. On the upside, watch the $2,450–$2,460 area, where previous wick highs may create short-term pressure.

If the price can sustain above the $2,300–$2,400 zone, the next major resistance lies at $2,750–$2,800, a significant support-turned-resistance area. Given that the 3-day RSI has also entered overbought territory, a short-term cooldown similar to Bitcoin's is possible, but the overall structure remains bullish.

XRP: Weekly Bullish Divergence Pending Confirmation

XRP is forming a new bullish divergence on the weekly timeframe: price has made a lower low while RSI has made a higher low. If this pattern is confirmed by this week's close, it will officially overturn the bearish divergence signal that has been pressuring the price for nearly a year. That previous bearish divergence triggered a significant decline, and the emergence of this reversal signal suggests the market may be entering a larger-scale recovery phase.

In the short term, the $1.60–$1.70 area acts as resistance, and some struggle or a minor pullback in this range is normal. The daily RSI is severely overbought, indicating a short-term need for cooling off.

Solana: Testing the $95–$105 Resistance Zone

Solana's 3-day chart remains in a bullish divergence recovery process, but the price has reached the $95–$105 resistance zone. Affected by Bitcoin's cooldown and its own resistance, Solana may see a minor pullback or sideways consolidation in the short term. The daily RSI is overbought, supporting the view of a short-term pause. However, the bullish divergence is still in effect, so the probability of a deep pullback is low, and another attempt to break this resistance zone could occur in the coming weeks.

Overall Market Sentiment and Practical Takeaways

Bitcoin dominance on the 3-day chart shows slight short-term strength but no extreme dominance. Major altcoins have high correlation with Bitcoin, and some may slightly underperform. This is not a typical "altcoin season"; the market is in a phase of synchronized fluctuations.

Technical indicators are broadly entering overbought territory, meaning the market needs time to digest recent gains. Pullbacks or sideways consolidation are normal parts of trend continuation. For investors focused on medium- to long-term trends, the confirmation of key weekly signals (such as Bitcoin closing above $80,000 or XRP's weekly bullish divergence being confirmed) is more meaningful than chasing short-term fluctuations.
