Technical analysis by ScottMelker about Symbol BTC on 7/1/2025

Bitcoin is currently consolidating just below a clear descending trendline, showing a series of lower highs since its recent local top near $112,000. Price is hovering around $106,300, holding just above key horizontal support at ~$105,800.

A break above the descending trendline and reclaim of $110,000+ would invalidate the current short-term downtrend and likely bring $112,000 and new highs into view. A loss of $105,800, on the other hand, puts $100,700 back in play – and below that, things could get ugly quickly.For now, the trend is neutral within a broader uptrend. The bulls are holding the line – but just barely
