The post Bitcoin Just Dollars Away from New ATHs: Bulls Target $74K and $80K appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
On Tuesday, Bitcoin experienced an impressive surge, reaching $73,600 during U.S. trading hours, just shy of its all-time high of $73,798 set on March 14. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $72,200, marking a strong 3% gain over the past day and reflecting the overall positive trend in the cryptocurrency market.
Recent Market Trends
After several months of consolidation following its March peak, when Bitcoin dipped to around $50,000, the cryptocurrency had been fluctuating between $60,000 and $65,000. Analyst Josh from Crypto World said that strong bullish signals are emerging on the Bitcoin chart. He said that BlackRock has been purchasing hundreds of millions of dollars in Bitcoin, contributing to the current upward momentum.
Additionally, Bitcoin is approaching a critical resistance zone between $72,000 and $74,000. This area is important, as it is the final hurdle before potentially reaching new all-time highs.
ETF Inflows and Buying Pressure
A key driver of Bitcoin’s recent price increase has been a massive inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs. On Monday alone, the total net inflow was approximately $479 million, with BlackRock being the largest buyer, contributing over $315 million. This buying pressure is expected to further support Bitcoin’s price.
Technical Analysis
Looking at the weekly charts, Bitcoin shows a bullish breakout in the RSI (Relative Strength Index), indicating potential for a sustained upward trend. A four-day trend reversal signal has also appeared, flipping the Super Trend indicator from red to green for the first time in months.
On the daily chart, Bitcoin is experiencing a breakout from a descending wedge pattern and a cup-and-handle formation, with a technical price target of around $80,000.
Short-Term Outlook
In the short term, Bitcoin is facing a final resistance area between $72,000 and $74,000. If it can break above $74,000, it may enter a phase of price discovery, potentially leading to new all-time highs. However, there may be challenges in this range, as past price action indicates it could struggle before breaking through.
