Bitcoin defends support as higher-low structure takes shape
Meanwhile, Bitcoin held a key support zone on a higher time frame chart, keeping a recent rebound intact and putting the $100,000 level back into focus, according to technical analysis shared on X by il Capo Of Crypto on Jan. 20.
On the two-day BTC/USD chart, price stabilized above a blue-marked support band near the low-$90,000 area after a sharp sell-off in November and early December. That zone previously acted as a base during consolidation earlier in the cycle, and recent candles showed buyers stepping in again after a brief downside sweep.
After reclaiming the support range, Bitcoin printed higher lows and pushed back toward mid-$90,000 levels. The structure suggested a potential shift from corrective price action to stabilization, as downside momentum slowed and volatility compressed near support.
The chart also highlighted a broader resistance zone between roughly $100,000 and $108,000, labeled as a key area tied to prior highs. A sustained hold above current support keeps that zone in play as the next technical target, based on previous reactions at those levels.
Il Capo Of Crypto said the current setup could mark an important higher low for the broader crypto market. The analyst noted that maintaining this support would preserve the larger bullish structure, setting conditions for continuation if follow-through buying emerges in coming sessions.
