Bitcoin (BTC) is up 3.38% in the past 12 hours, attempting to recover from Friday’s brutal correction. Technical and on-chain data show why BTC price revisiting of the all-time high of $111,959.5 or a push higher toward $120,000 is unlikely. Why BTC Price Climbing to $120,000 is Unlikely? In the long run, Bitcoin (BTC) setting up an ATH beyond $120,000 is highly likely as the higher timeframe outlook is largely bullish. On a lower timeframe, the BTC price remains bearish due to three critical signals: Technicals suggest a potential reversal or a short-term correction is due. Whales holding between 100K to 1M BTC are reducing their stack. Blockchain data shows clear profit-taking activity. These key developments suggest that a short-term pause or a pullback is highly likely here for BTC price.

The crypto market did not fare too well over the last seven days, with most of the altcoins noting a decline. However, heading into the second half of June, certain external developments could trigger a recovery in altcoins’ prices.
BeInCrypto has analyzed three such altcoins for investors to watch in the coming days and the direction in which they are heading.
Immutable (IMX)
Immutable X staking is set to transition to Immutable zkEVM this week, marking a significant milestone for the network and its users. This move is expected to bring bullish momentum to the platform, potentially influencing the price of the native token IMX in the coming days.
IMX has experienced an 8.7% decline over the past week, with the current price at $0.47. The altcoin is struggling to hold support at $0.46. However, if it successfully secures this level, IMX could target the next resistance at $0.49, with potential gains extending toward $0.53.
The Parabolic SAR is currently above the candlesticks, indicating a growing bearish trend. If this pattern holds, IMX’s price may continue to slide. A drop below the $0.44 support would signal further weakness, invalidating the bullish outlook and increasing the risk of additional losses for investors.
Reserve Protocol (RSR)
RSR is set to undergo its second-ever burn on June 20, following the successful 1.28 million RSR burn on May 21. This event is expected to play a key role in shaping the altcoin’s price action, potentially providing a catalyst for a new wave of investor interest and price movement.
The last RSR burn led to a notable 13.7% price surge. A similar short-term bullish scenario could unfold after the upcoming burn, particularly with the MACD indicator signaling a bullish crossover. If this momentum continues, RSR could target $0.0073, with the next resistance point at $0.0081, drawing further investor attention.
However, if broader market sentiment turns bearish, RSR might struggle to maintain support levels. A break below $0.0064 or $0.0059 would indicate significant weakness and invalidate the current bullish outlook. In this scenario, the altcoin could face a prolonged decline, making careful monitoring of market cues essential for traders.
THORChain (RUNE)
RUNE price has decreased by 5% over the past week, trading at $1.54, just below the $1.57 resistance level. This comes ahead of the V3.7.0 upgrade scheduled for THORChain later this week, which is expected to bring substantial improvements to the network, potentially impacting RUNE’s price.
The upcoming V3.7.0 upgrade introduces a range of changes to the THORChain network, which could lead to a surge in RUNE’s price. The Ichimoku Cloud also suggests a bullish momentum for the altcoin. If RUNE manages to reclaim $1.57 as support, it could drive the price towards $1.67, attracting further investment.
However, if broader market conditions turn bearish, RUNE might face a downward correction. A drop below $1.50 could signal further weakness, with $1.39 acting as the next support level. A break below this level would invalidate the bullish outlook, likely extending losses for investors.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a downtrend since February 21, dropping 23% in less than 18 days. Despite this bearishness, a veteran trader and analyst explains his ideal scenario for a Bitcoin price bottom and a bullish reversal that leads to a $100,000 revisit.
Ideal Scenario for a Bitcoin Price Bottom According to Analyst
Due to the 23% crash in Bitcoin price from a high of $99,431 to $76,560, the outlook for crypto markets has been bearish, at least until BTC forms a potential bottom. RektProof, a veteran trader who turned $500 to nearly $360K, posted his thoughts on a potential Bitcoin bottom.
According to this expert, Bitcoin price will likely form a bottom in the high time frame demand zone, extending from $73,000 to $65,000. This means that RektProof is expecting another leg down, i.e., after the sweep of the recently formed local high of around $83,000.

Analysts’ Price Targets After BTC Bottoms?
To predict Bitcoin price targets after a potential bottom formation, the analyst considers the 21% price swing between February 28 and March 2, extending from $78,200 to $94,984. A sweep of $78,200 into a high time frame demand zone could lead to a rally that revisits roughly $95K.
However, this is the short-term Bitcoin price rally that the analyst is expecting. From a long-term perspective, RektProof expects a dip into the HTF demand zone to be a bottom that leads to a new all-time high of $130,000.

So, the expert forecasts two Bitcoin price targets, one at $95,000 and the other at $130,000.
Bitcoin’s Options Data Hints Investors Are Hedging for Further Downside
According to a researcher and analyst, CNO, the bottom is still not in and indicates that the “(crypto) market is still hedged for downside.” CNO sends a warning signal for eager bulls, indicating that there might be another flush to the downside before Bitcoin price reenters the $85,000 to $95,000 range.
The basis for his prediction is options data that measures the call and put options pricing over time to gauge market sentiment and potential price direction.

In other tweets, CNO highlights that this flush will likely occur in the next few days due to the blood moon lunar eclipse that will catalyze heightened volatility for crypto markets, including BTC’s value.
So, the overall Bitcoin price forecast from two analysts suggests another temporary but downside move that could lead to a bottom formation before BTC price targets $100K or a new ATH at $130K.
