Bitcoin – Respecting $103k FVG, Approaching ATH.

5月13日

Bitcoin failed to fully fill the large 4h and 1h FVG around the $100,000 zone, front-running the level before bouncing sharply. This type of price behavior suggests strong demand, with buyers stepping in aggressively before the inefficiency could be completely mitigated. The market is now shifting back to a more bullish tone after establishing a short-term bottom near the key higher-timeframe FVG.

Consolidation Structure

The price action has been messy and range-bound over the past few days, stuck between the major 1h/4h demand zone around $102,000 and the $105,000 resistance level. Within that broader range, Bitcoin created a new 1h FVG on the push off the lows, which has already been respected intraday around the $103,000 area. That newly formed FVG now acts as short-term support as price grinds upward again toward the prior resistance.

Bullish/Bearish Scenarios

On the bullish side, if Bitcoin flips the $104,500 to $105,000 resistance area cleanly into support with a convincing displacement and consolidation above it, there’s a good chance it will break out and target higher inefficiencies above $106,000. That would confirm buyers are in full control and using each FVG as a stepping stone higher.

However, if price gets rejected again inside the resistance zone without showing signs of strength or accumulation just below it, we could see another rotation lower back to the $100,000 FVG or potentially even a deeper retest of the broader $97,500 area. A rejection at the highs could align with a sweep of local buy-side liquidity and serve as a trigger for a short-term reversal.

Price Target and Expectations

Upside breakout targets sit around $106,200 and higher, based on the previous price inefficiencies and trend structure. On the downside, if we see rejection, price may revisit $100,000 and possibly test the deeper 4h imbalance zone closer to $97,500 again.

Current Stance

For now, price is trading inside the upper portion of the range and grinding into a known resistance area. There’s no clear confirmation yet of either a breakout or rejection, so the next move depends heavily on how price reacts within the $104,500 to $105,000 zone. Watching for either bullish continuation (with a clean flip and hold above) or a strong rejection setup for a possible fade back into the midrange.

Conclusion

Bitcoin continues to respect FVGs both to the downside and upside. The bounce from the 1h/4h demand confirms higher timeframe interest, and the respect of the new 1h FVG around $103,000 shows short-term strength. The next major decision point is the $105,000 resistance. A clean break and flip could signal continuation, while rejection there may trap longs and send price back toward demand.
