BTC Pullback Possible: Trader Sets Buy Orders at $94K and $82K for Sharp Dip

Bitcoin Faces Pressure as Trader Prepares Bids at $94K and $82K

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of short-term weakness, with fading bullish catalysts and deteriorating technicals prompting traders to position for potential volatility. Brent Donnelly, president of Spectra Markets, plans to place bids at $94,000 and $82,000 to capitalize on any sudden market downturns.

“Bitcoin is trading like a risky asset, not a store of value,” Donnelly said. “There’s no coherent short-term bullish narrative, though longer-term fundamentals could eventually benefit BTC.”

The hype around digital asset treasuries (DATs) is cooling, and seasonal patterns related to the April 2024 halving suggest the current bull run may be nearing its peak. Historically, halving cycles see BTC peak 16–18 months after the event, followed by a roughly year-long correction.

Technically, a double-top pattern has emerged, with resistance now forming near $111,982. A sustained drop could trigger deeper declines, while a clean break higher would weaken the bearish outlook.

Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report could be a key catalyst, with stronger-than-expected data potentially pressuring BTC as traders hedge with puts on the CME.
