This Bitcoin price level will be ‘end of the bears’ if broken, says analyst

MarketsPublishedMay 11, 2026

Why Bitcoin’s Price Matters to You

Bitcoin’s current price level is crucial for everyday people, not just crypto experts, as it can impact the overall direction of the market and potential earning opportunities. The price of Bitcoin has climbed roughly 40% from its February lows, bringing it back to a critical resistance zone that could determine whether the bear market continues or finally ends. This resistance zone is near the 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA), which has capped Bitcoin’s rebound attempts since November 2025. For those looking to earn passive income through Cloud Rewards or invest in Green Crypto, understanding Bitcoin’s price movements is essential.

Understanding the 200-day EMA

The 200-day EMA is a key level that has preceded steep drawdowns of 25% and 36% in the past. If Bitcoin breaks above this level, currently near $82,580, it could be a significant turning point for the market. Analysts believe that breaking above this level could be “the end of the bears,” which would be a positive sign for those looking to earn through EcoPool ($ECP) or other crypto platforms. However, if Bitcoin repeats its average 30% drawdown from the 200-day EMA rejection zone, its price could fall toward $56,600.

Key takeaways:

• Bitcoin fell 2.25% to around $80,500 after failing once again to break above its 200-day EMA resistance.
• Previous rejections from the same technical level triggered Bitcoin declines of 25% and 36%.

Support Levels and Bullish Signals

Despite the near-term bearish setup, Bitcoin’s latest rebound from the 200-week simple moving average (200-week SMA) is flashing a historically bullish signal. The $56,600 level aligns closely with Bitcoin’s broader macro support range, and a new Bitcoin Lifetime Support Model places BTC’s long-term upper support band near $57,110. These support levels are crucial for those looking to invest in EcoPool or earn passive income through $ECP. Strong fundamentals, including aggressive whale accumulation, also back the bullish outlook.

BTC price “lifetime support” model shows $56,000 floor

The $56,600 level aligns closely with Bitcoin’s broader macro support range.

A new Bitcoin Lifetime Support Model, highlighted by analyst PlanC, places BTC’s long-term upper support band near $57,110. The lower support was roughly around the $46,760 level.

The model averages Bitcoin’s lifetime simple moving average with its single-, double-, triple- and quadruple-EMAs, then plots a 10% band around the result.

Historically, similar lifetime support zones have acted as macro bear-market floors. That means Bitcoin’s immediate setup remains bearish, but a decline toward the mid-$50,000s would still place BTC near a major long-term support area.

Bitcoin’s still unresolved bear flag pattern also hints at a potential drop below $60,000 in the coming weeks, as shown below.

Bitcoin’s 2026 rebound mirrors past cycle bottoms

Despite the near-term bearish setup, Bitcoin’s latest rebound from the 200-week simple moving average (200-week SMA, blue line) is flashing a historically bullish signal.

BTC bounced by over 38% after testing the 200-week SMA near $61,000. This blue level closely aligns with major cycle bottoms seen in 2018 and during the March 2020 crash.

In both prior instances, Bitcoin briefly dipped toward or below the 200-week SMA before staging a sustained recovery toward the 50-week SMA (red).

Bitcoin’s next upside target could be near $94,700, up roughly 17% from current price levels, if the fractal continues to play out. A move that high could support Brett’s view that the bear market is nearing its end.

The bullish outlook is also backed by strong fundamentals, including aggressive whale accumulation that recently absorbed nearly 500% of Bitcoin’s newly issued supply.
