  • BTC's Open Interest (by number of coins) has increased whilst Funding remains range-bound/fluctuating between slightly positive and negative. This move up in price has been driven by some leverage, but it's also been supported by a Spot bid.

Technical analysis

  • BTC has broken out of its main downtrend line, and despite being in a tight range for a few days (between $83,500 and $85,500), price has now broken out to the upside.
  • Price has now moved up to a local resistance zone between $87,500 and $88,500, however, the major horizontal resistance is at $91,700.
  • If price reclaimed $91,700, that would indicate a bullish reversal, and we'd have to look to change our stance. However, we don't see price reclaiming this level anytime soon,
  • On the downside, $82,000 is horizontal support, with the next major level in a zone between $74,800 and $78,500.
  • The RSI had broken out of its downtrend line some time ago, and having also been sitting above its moving average, it has now broken upwards. It remains in middle territory, so it's possible this price move could extend into $88,500.

  • Next Support: $82,000
  • Next Resistance: $88,500
  • Direction: Bearish
  • Upside Target: $88,500
  • Downside Target: $82,000

Cryptonary's take

Whilst price has positively broken out to the upside, we remain sceptical of the move. In fact, between $87,500 and $89,000, we will be looking to Short BTC, with the target being a minimum of a retest of $82,000. In the short term, we see upside as close to being done, and therefore we do expect price to pull back over the coming weeks, again with $82,000 as being the minimum target.

In the medium term, we are still expecting a retest of the lows, and hence, for now, we remain patient. A price reclaim of $91,700, and we'd have to consider that we're wrong and we'd look to reassess our positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
