This will likely result in a larger move as one side eventually gets squeezed out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Daan urged investors to watch closely for a decisive move below $83,000 or above $86,000, suggesting that a clean breakout from these levels could mark the beginning of BTC\u2019s next major price move.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-450156 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26%E2%80%AFAM.png?resize=980%2C563\" alt=\"daan\" width=\"980\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=2514 2514w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-11.05.26\u202fAM.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader echoed similar sentiments.
