BTC Price Risks $97K as Bear Flag Pattern Signals Correction

BITCOIN (BTC)

A bear flag pattern on Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart suggests a potential drop to $97,000 if support at $104,800 fails.

Traders warn that losing key levels at $100K and $92K could trigger a deeper correction toward $85,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) is under pressure after a sharp 11% drop from its $111,000 all-time high, with analysts warning of a potential decline to $97,000—or lower—if critical support zones fail. Amid rising trade tensions and bearish chart patterns, June could be a defining month for BTC price action.

Bear Flag Signals Potential Drop to $97K

A classic bear flag pattern has emerged on Bitcoin’s four-hour chart, typically seen as a bearish continuation signal. After bottoming out near $103,100 on May 31, BTC began consolidating in a parallel channel, retesting the lower boundary of the flag throughout the weekend. If BTC breaks below $104,800, analysts project a further decline toward $97,690, calculated from the height of the flagpole.

Technical indicators align with this bearish outlook. The relative strength index (RSI) sits at 44, suggesting that downward momentum remains dominant. If the current structure breaks, the next likely support lies around the 200-day simple moving average near $97,600.

$100K and $92K: Critical Levels for Traders

According to market analyst Daan Crypto Trades, Bitcoin’s mid-range support at $99,600 and resistance at $108,000 are pivotal levels for early June. A breakout above $108K could trigger a rally back to $111,900, but any failure to hold $99,600 might drag BTC down to the 200-day average.

Another analyst, AlphaBTC, echoed these concerns, warning that a breakdown could extend into the second week of June. He emphasized the $92,000 yearly opening level as a key support. If this level fails, BTC could drop further, potentially hitting $85,000.

Market Uncertainty as Monthly Trends Diverge

While Bitcoin closed May with an 11% gain, historical data shows June tends to be volatile, averaging a slight 0.3% loss. As tariff-related tensions weigh on investor sentiment, traders remain cautious. With no strong directional bias, many analysts are taking a neutral stance, opting to “remain nimble” and react to market signals.

As June unfolds, Bitcoin’s price trajectory hinges on whether it can defend the $100K and $92K levels. A breach below these marks could validate the bear flag and confirm a deeper correction in the weeks ahead.
