A popular crypto strategist is warning that Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at critical levels, signaling a high risk for a deeper correction.

Pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 242,800 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin must hold $76,600 as support to remain bullish.

Other key levels the analyst is watching closely are $77,903 and $78,197.

“Do or die levels for BTC.”

The analyst warns that if Bitcoin closes below $76,000 on the three-day chart, the flagship crypto will likely revisit the mid-$60,000 range.

“We close below that wick at $76,000 on HTF (high timeframe) and I think we go to mid-$60,000s quickly if we don’t rebound near immediately after. It’s not a bad R:R (risk:reward) spot for a long around here but obviously a bit dangerous.”

According to the analyst, whether Bitcoin may rally without retesting the $60,000 range may be decided any moment now.

“Current region hopefully holds but overall market structure is ugly. High $60,000s still on the table for BTC, but the next few days should be quite telling.”

He also says that Bitcoin may be stuck in a low-volume trading gap in the near term.

“Volume profile shows a lack of activity in the $71,000-$82,000 region; wouldn’t be surprised to see price chop around here for a while to fill it out. I had this theory a while ago.”

Bitcoin is trading for $82,400 at time of writing, up 7.6% in the last 24 hours.
