TL;DR BOX

Bitcoin and major altcoins are consolidating after sharp declines, with price action now focused around key support and resistance zones. The market has not confirmed a full bearish cycle yet, but upside remains capped without clear breakouts. For BTC, the structure suggests accumulation after a drop, with two main paths: a deeper liquidity sweep toward $80k–$83k to form a double bottom, or a short-term rally that risks rejection near the $92k–$94k resistance zone. Current candle behavior suggests caution is still needed.

Bitcoin Cash is showing a long-term accumulation structure below the $590–$620 resistance, where a breakout could unlock strong upside but may take time. Uniswap remains in a broader downtrend despite positive governance developments, with recovery only valid if price reclaims $7 and confirms above $8. Zcash closely mirrors Bitcoin’s structure, compressing below resistance in an ascending triangle, signaling a potential expansion move once direction is confirmed.

Key points

  • Fact: BTC resistance at $92k - $94k

  • Mistake: assuming short-term trend breaks confirm full reversals

  • Action: wait for confirmation at key levels before scaling positions

Critical insight

Strong accumulation structures often resolve only after liquidity sweeps, not when sentiment turns optimistic.

Welcome back to our Latest Crypto News series this week!

As always, we’ll take a closer look at notable cryptocurrencies and key technical patterns to forecast where the market may head next.

⛏️ Bitcoin

On the D1 timeframe, Bitcoin $BTC ( ▲ 3.07% ) dropped sharply and is now reacting at a key lower support zone. Price swept liquidity and saw buying pressure step in, suggesting a potential short-term bottom.

The bullish scenario is that BTC may still see one more sharp drop, forming a long-wick candle that sweeps below the support zone, similar to the candle on Oct 21, and falls into the $80k - $83k range. From there, price could form a double bottom, then push higher and break through resistance as part of a structured trading strategy.

That’s scenario 1.

However, scenario 2 is currently more popular and is being shared widely across news and social media, especially across major latest crypto news outlets.

Many believe BTC has already broken the short-term downtrend and may be preparing for a rally. But since this is only a short-term downtrend, breaking it would likely result in just a short-term uptrend.

The candles after the breakout have small bodies, with no strong, impulsive candle to confirm momentum. This increases the risk that when price reaches the $92k - $94k resistance zone, it could be rejected immediately.

As you can see, safe-haven assets, especially gold and silver, are still in a strong uptrend with no clear signs of slowing down. This suggests that, in the short term, capital is still flowing into safe havens rather than high-risk assets like BTC.

Because of that, scenario 1, where BTC pulls back to support before moving higher, has a higher probability as long as these conditions remain.

So what is the worst-case scenario?

Yep, this is a question raised often in latest crypto news discussions.

So it would be a downtrend similar to 2022, when BTC broke below the MA200. Technically, BTC has already broken it, but based on my previous macro and cycle analysis, this does not yet confirm the start of a full bearish phase.

In the previous cycle, after breaking the MA200, BTC spent around 78 days correcting and distributing before a downtrend was confirmed, including a retest of the MA200. Scenarios 1 and 2 would likely play out much faster than this third scenario.

So before jumping to overly bearish conclusions, it makes sense to stay patient and see whether scenario 1 or 2 plays out. If neither happens, selling or de-risking part of the position later is still not too late.

You remember our prediction that Bitcoin would return to $80K when the entire market believed BTC would hold $100K and continue moving up.

And we’ve shared high-potential tokens that are positioned for 200% growth in one month, while the broader market looks quiet and sluggish.

🏗️ Bitcoin Cash

Welcome back to the “Unicorn Cycle” that I’ve mentioned many times in previous Latest Crypto News editions.

It’s hard to make strong claims based on fundamentals here, but from a technical perspective,this trading strategy for $BCH ( ▲ 6.17% ) focuses on a long and solid accumulation phase.

BCH is currently capped by the $590 - $620 resistance zone. If it breaks above this level, the upside could be very strong, especially since price is forming a descending triangle pattern.

This is a token that requires more patience, but the potential payoff could be significant.

🏗️ UNISWAP

Uniswap $UNI ( ▼ 1.69% ) is trading around the $6.10 level in a weak market structure, but medium-term optimism is building around a major governance vote - a key topic in this week’s latest crypto news.

The proposal, led by Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation, includes activating protocol fees and burning around 100 million UNI, which would reduce supply and better link token value to protocol performance.

If passed, the vote would introduce a unified governance framework, shift more operational control to Uniswap Labs, and use protocol revenue for UNI buybacks and burns. The goal is to streamline development, improve efficiency, and position Uniswap as the default exchange for tokenized value with a long-term growth budget.

From a technical perspective, UNI is still in a broader downtrend, with multiple downward trendlines in play. A meaningful recovery would require price to first reclaim the $7.0 resistance, then break and confirm above the main trendline with a close above $8.0. For now, price remains in an accumulation zone, and with strong support around $4.4 - $4.8, commonly used as a demand zone in this trading strategy.

🏗️ Zcash

$BTC ( ▲ 3.07% ) has dropped sharply from the top and is now forming a post-decline accumulation structure.

BTC is making higher lows along an ascending trendline, but price is still capped by a strong resistance zone around $92k - $94k, a breakout here would shift the broader trading strategy

On the $ZEC ( ▼ 0.84% ) chart, the structure closely mirrors BTC. After a strong rally, ZEC corrected deeply and is now consolidating within an ascending triangle. Price is compressing just below a key horizontal resistance zone (highlighted in yellow), signaling a potential expansion move. This setup has started to appear in several latest crypto news discussions

A successful breakout would likely resume the uptrend, while rejection could send price back to retest the rising support trendline.
