As the week comes to an end, Bitcoin demonstrates notable resilience following its dramatic drop to the $101,000 mark last weekend. After days filled with intense volatility and significant market liquidations, the leading cryptocurrency has managed to stabilize above this threshold, even surging to as high as $113,400 during the week.
In this scenario, crypto analyst Tyrex expressed a positive outlook on X, noting that the worst of the downturn is behind us, and Bitcoin may soon be poised for an upward movement back to $117,000.
Bitcoin’s Price Movements Support Bottoming Thesis
Tyrex highlights that Bitcoin’s consistent defense of the $108,000 to $105,000 range serves as a strong indicator that the market has likely stabilized. Throughout the week, price movements remained around this vital area, despite ongoing selling pressure, suggesting robust support at this level.

The analyst noted that if the correction were still ongoing, Bitcoin would have likely dropped below $108,000. The consistent retest and holding of this range indicates the exhaustion of the bearish trend, setting the stage for a rebound. History shows that such resilience following major drops has often led to significant recovery rallies in past Bitcoin market cycles.
According to Tyrex, Bitcoin’s current consolidation phase is paving the way for the next upward movement. He forecasts that the price could rise toward $117,000 in the upcoming sessions once short-term resistance barriers are overcome. The overall technical landscape still favors bullish sentiment, as many traders view last weekend’s drop as a necessary reset to eliminate excessive leverage rather than a harbinger of long-term weakness. Momentum indicators are also beginning to stabilize, and renewed buying interest from retail and institutional traders may emerge as we move into next week.
Altcoins Likely to Benefit from Bitcoin’s Strength
Tyrex further suggested that the wider crypto market will likely follow Bitcoin’s trajectory once it starts moving decisively upward. Most altcoins mirrored Bitcoin’s decline last weekend and experienced significant drops. Ethereum, Solana, and XRP all fell below their support levels as market sentiment worsened.

However, smaller cryptocurrencies are starting to stabilize alongside Bitcoin, as traders are gaining confidence that the worst is behind us. Tyrex cautioned investors not to mistake the current sideways movement as a precursor to further declines, emphasizing that “the market has already experienced a crash; let it rest.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $105,300. As we head into the new weekend, Bitcoin’s ability to close the week above $105,000 could pave the way for a breakout to $111,000 and then $117,000. If this scenario comes to fruition, Tyrex’s prediction that the crash has ended and a new uptrend is emerging may soon be validated. Conversely, failure to hold above $105,000 could lead to a further downturn.
