Bitcoin Futures Price Prediction and Analysis for Today
TradeCompass: Bitcoin Futures Price Prediction and Analysis for Today (January 29, 2025)
At the time of this Bitcoin futures analysis, Bitcoin futures are trading at 102,400. Below is the comprehensive breakdown of today's bullish and bearish scenarios for Bitcoin futures, following the TradeCompass guidelines.
Bullish Scenario for Bitcoin Futures Today
We will turn bullish above 102,670, positioning us above the highest VWAP level of yesterday and the value area high (VAH) of two days ago. Here are the bullish profit targets:
- 102,855 – A quick initial profit target near yesterday's POC and VAH.
- Note: The proximity of the first partial profit target to the bullish threshold is intentional. This closeness is due to key levels that may trigger a reversal or consolidation, especially as the market could trade in a tight range ahead of the FOMC meeting.
- 103,095 – Reinforces the significance of recent high-volume levels.
- 103,540 – Aligns with the 2nd upper standard deviation of the VWAP from two days ago, marking a strong resistance point.
- 105,595 – Positioned just below the VWAP of three days ago, where seller pressure might emerge.
- 106,425 (Runner) – Corresponds with the VAH of three days ago, offering an extended bullish target.
These levels guide bullish traders on how to manage entries and partial exits effectively, considering the potential for range-bound trading leading up to the FOMC meeting.
Bearish Scenario for Bitcoin Futures Today
We will turn bearish below 101,460, signaling a break under today's VWAP and the POC of two days ago. Bearish profit targets include:
- 100,835 – Just above the VWAP of two days ago, an initial conservative target.
- 99,435 – Positioned just above the value area low (VAL) of two days ago, indicating further downside potential.
- 98,065 – A deeper bearish target as market sentiment weakens.
- 96,625 – Aligns with the 3rd lower standard deviation of the VWAP from two days ago, marking a critical support zone.
These bearish targets offer a structured approach for managing downside risks in Bitcoin futures, considering key technical levels and potential market reactions to macroeconomic events.
Bitcoin Futures Price Prediction: Key Takeaways
- Bullish Bias: Above 102,670, initial targets at 102,855 and 103,095 highlight quick profit-taking opportunities due to key resistance levels.
- Bearish Bias: Below 101,460, targets at 100,835 and 99,435 provide clear milestones for bearish traders.
- Implement partial profit-taking after hitting the first target, moving the stop to the entry point for the remaining position. This strategy protects gains but also accepts the risk of being stopped out on reversals, especially in tight ranges.
Why These Levels Matter for Today's Bitcoin Futures Analysis
- Value Area (VA): Represents where 70% of trading occurred, guiding support and resistance expectations.
- VAH/VAL: The upper and lower boundaries, crucial for identifying potential reversals or continuations.
- POC: The highest volume level, signaling strong liquidity and interest.
- VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Helps assess market sentiment and trend strength.
Understanding these levels in today’s Bitcoin futures trading enhances traders' ability to execute high-probability strategies while managing risk effectively.
Market Considerations: FOMC Meeting Impact
With the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, anticipate a tighter trading range as markets await reactions. This event could significantly influence Bitcoin futures, especially regarding the broader risk-on/risk-off sentiment that often correlates with cryptocurrency volatility.

Make sure to roll-over your Bitcoin futures contact today - to the Feb 2025 contract
When trading futures, it's essential to be aware of the continuous futures contract, also known as the contract in front, which is the most actively traded contract at any given time. Futures contracts have expiration dates, and as they approach, traders transition to the next active contract.
Today, we have a contract rollover for Bitcoin futures, shifting from the January 2025 contract to the February 2025 contract. You can track this on TradingView using the ticker BTC1!, where rollover icons indicate contract switch dates. Clicking on these icons opens a card displaying key details, including the transition date, the expiring contract name, and the new active contract. Since contract prices often vary, always ensure you're trading the continuous contract to stay aligned with the most liquid and actively traded instrument.
