 <li>Breaking back above $100K remains crucial for Bitcoin’s bullish momentum, but consolidation may favor altcoin growth.</li> 
</ul>   
<p>The cryptocurrency market saw a shift in trend where BTC price went through a period of extreme <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/whale-moves-btc-deposits-spark-concerns-over-market-volatility/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">volatility</a> where it even fell notably mainly due to what traders call a ‘Samurai candle’. This sharp price movement created the chain reactions within the market, which hurt Bitcoins significantly while little was noticeable on altcoins. The event shows the volatility of the market and how it all depends on the combination of Bitcoin performance and altcoins.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-samurai-candle-and-its-effect-on-the-market">Samurai Candle and Its Effect on the Market</h2>   
<p>A Samurai candle refers to a strong, singular price movement that slices through support levels, creating a rapid decline. Bitcoin’s recent drop demonstrated this pattern, testing key support levels near $97,000. Analysts noted that this sharp decline failed to incite a corresponding drop in altcoins, which have remained largely steady. This relative stability of altcoins could signal resilience in broader market sentiment or a temporary decoupling from Bitcoin’s price trends.</p>

<p><a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/bitcoins-halving-cycle-predicts-140k-to-4-5m-range-key-figures-to-watch-this-cycle/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> is remaining high on the radar of traders due to its fluctuating performance on the target of reaching the $100,000 mark. A breakthrough of this psychological level should open the way to even higher highs and make a resumption of the upward movement. Nonetheless, the inability to maintain consolidation above those support levels near $89,000 and $85,000 means that more losses are possible, and may bring short-term volatility into the equation.</p>   
<p>Market analysts also extend this idea by pointing out that chronic stagnation at these levels could lead to another uptick in altcoin trading known as an “altcoin feast”. In the past, instances of Bitcoin ranging have had investors switching to the secondary coins leading to gains in their prices and volume.</p>   
<p>The movements of the latest prices extend the struggle between the bulls and bears in the market for cryptocurrencies. Currently, Bitcoin is in a phase and the outcome of the key levels will determine the trend of the entire market.</p>
