Bitcoin (BTC) saw fresh volatility on May 6 as low-liquidity weekend trading tested the mettle of its trading range.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dropping by over $1,000, or 3%, in a matter of hours on the day.

The largest cryptocurrency saw volatile conditions typical of weekend trading but could not exit a broader corridor in place for several weeks.

Amid a lack of ammunition to either clear the $30,000 resistance or drop toward key trend lines near $25,000, BTC/USD frustrated market participants.

Bitcoin really is in limbo right now and doesnt know what to do .. I am back out of a position and just waiting again for one side of this range to break to re enter, popular trader Crypto Tony told Twitter followers.

An accompanying chart showed potential targets in the event of a bearish breakdown.

An additional analysis released earlier in the day repeated previous predictions of $32,000 coming into play should bullish momentum return.

In separate coverage, fellow trader CryptoBullet described the days losses as nothing special.

Final dip before the breakout, part of the commentary argued, with a chart presenting BTC/USD in a narrowing wedge with a decision on exit trajectory due.

As ever, longer timeframes were a cause for more optimistic views.

Analyzing the weekly chart, analyst Gert van Lagen flagged the 200-week simple moving average (SMA) as the resistance line to clear next, with Bitcoin possibly completing a bullish inverse head and shoulders chart pattern.

Trader and investor CryptoAce highlighted a large weekly resistance zone for bulls to tackle.
