Bitcoin Price Forecast and Bullish Trading Context
Bitcoin futures are hovering near $110,200, firmly above the $108,800 bullish threshold, giving bulls the edge per tradeCompass methodology. The market has reclaimed Friday’s value area and sits above both today’s VWAP ($109,300) and Friday’s VWAP ($109,600), reinforcing a bullish stance.
However, for Bitcoin traders, this might not be the best entry timing. A pullback to VWAP zones ($109,300–$109,600) could offer a more favorable setup.
Bitcoin Futures Price Targets for Bullish Trades
While trend direction favors the bulls, nearby resistance makes current entries less attractive. Instead, watch for:
$110,970 – Near May 22 Value Area Low, potential friction zone.
$111,250 – Converging VWAPs from May 22 and May 23 opening.
$111,900 – May 22 Value Area High; possible price ceiling.
$113,175 – Runner target approaching 3rd standard deviation from May 22 VWAP.
Ideal entries would be on a retracement, but for those already in long, these are sensible zones for partial profit-taking.
Bitcoin Futures Analysis Today – Bearish Scenario and Downside Levels
A move below $108,500 would flip the bias bearish, signaling weakening bull control. Key bearish price targets include:
$107,790 – Point of Control from May 21.
$107,550 – Just above May 20 Value Area High.
$106,435 – Near May 21 Value Area Low.
$105,555 – Slightly above May 20 Value Area Low.
$103,450 – Longer-term downside target above May 19 POC.
Unless this $108,500 level breaks with momentum, bearish setups remain inactive.
Trading Education Insight: Entry Timing Is as Critical as Direction
Even with the right market bias, poor entry timing can reduce your edge. Smart Bitcoin traders don’t chase moves—they wait for the market to offer them a setup with favorable risk-reward, often around VWAP zones or prior value areas. That’s why tradeCompass emphasizes structure and entry context, not just direction.
tradeCompass Strategy for Bitcoin Traders Today
-
Only one trade per direction per map.
-
Shift stops once partial targets are met.
-
Don’t re-enter just because you exited a profitable trade.
-
Stop-loss logic: place stops tied to thresholds—not beyond them.
For those still short from Friday’s map: this bullish setup supersedes it. Close the short, but don’t flip long impulsively. A better long entry may come after a retrace.
