Strategy and Wargaming News – 12th July 2025- Slitherine Next, Broken Arrow DLC, Combat Mission 3

Bitcoin resistance chart

Now, enter the oracle of online analysis, who suggests that Bitcoin might be standing at a metaphorical crossroads, trying to decide whether to head to El Dorado or just pick up takeout. It seems our dear BTC may just shoot up to an astronomical $143,000 if it can navigate past what we’ll refer to as “the Not-So-Great Wall of Resistance”—the area between $118,900 and $120,000, which apparently is the cryptocurrency equivalent of a hipster coffee shop announcing it’s out of almond milk.
