Bitcoin price analysis is bullish today as we have seen a quick drop back to the previous support end with a slight reaction higher and consolidation since morning. Therefore, BTC/USD should see a quick retrace and another lower high set around $31,000 over the next 24 hours.
The market has traded in the red over the last 24 hours as strong spikes lower were seen across the board. The leader, Bitcoin, lost 4.42 percent, while Ethereum 3.96 percent. Meanwhile, Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), and Avalanche (AVAX) are the worst performers among the major altcoins.
Bitcoin price movement in the last 24 hours: Bitcoin retests previous lows, looks to retrace

BTC/USD 4-hour chart: BTC/USD begins to push higher
On the 4-hour chart, we can see bulls regaining momentum over the last hours, indicating that a new lower high will likely be established over the next 24 hours. The first obvious target for resistance is located around $31,000.
Bitcoin price action has seen volatility increase once more over the past days. After several days of consolidation above $29,200 at the end of last week, BTC/USD quickly spiked higher overnight to yesterday.
Price action peaked at $31,750, meaning that a clear lower high is set, and BTC is ready to return lower later. More downside did indeed follow quickly as overnight to today all of previous gain was retraced.
This means that the market effectively trades in an increasingly tighter descending triangle pattern. As clear support has already reversed BTC, we expect a rally higher to follow overnight.
The first minor resistance could be seen around $30,500, while the next target is located around $31,000. If either of these levels holds Bitcoin price from further upside, we will see another strong lower high set.
From there, BTC/USD should return back to the $29,200 support. If it gets broken later in the week, a lot more downside can be expected later in June. Alternatively, if the current high at $31,750 gets broken, a major market structure reversal could be played out over the next weeks.
Bitcoin price analysis: Conclusion
Bitcoin price analysis is bullish today as we have seen a quick spike lower benign met with strong support at the previous lows around $29,200. BTC/USD has already started to retrace and returned above $30,000, indicating more upside to come overnight and early tomorrow.
