Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins have been caught in sharp market swings following a steep crash earlier this week, driven by President Donald Trump’s tariff order.
BTC briefly reclaimed $100,000, but the momentum quickly faded, pulling the price back to $98,000. Despite the setback, analysts see a bullish pattern forming, hinting at a potential breakout ahead.
Technical pattern signals a potential surge
In an analysis by Trader Tardigrade, Bitcoin’s price action has formed a bullish pennant on the two-day chart, suggesting a continuation of the strong uptrend.
This technical formation, characterized by a consolidation phase following a sharp price rally, is often a precursor to another leg up.
The analyst projected that if BTC confirms a breakout from this formation, it could surge toward $155,000 in the coming months.
BTC price key levels to watch
According to the analysis, Bitcoin is facing stiff resistance at $104,000, a level that has halted previous rally attempts. A breakout could pave the way for the psychological levels of $110,000 and $120,000, with the pennant pattern signaling a potential surge to $155,000.
On the downside, the $94,000 to $96,000 zone remains a key support, losing this level could invalidate the bullish setup and trigger a deeper correction.
More bullish projections for BTC
Beyond the bullish pennant, Bitcoin’s long-term Channel Up pattern continues to support the uptrend.
Notably, TradingShot points to a fractally similar setup between previous rallies and the current price action, with BTC’s recent bounce off the 100-day moving average echoing its January 23, 2024 rebound.
Technical indicators add further weight to the bullish case, pointing to RSI-based symmetry between previous and current accumulation phases.
The time between key RSI lower highs in previous accumulation phases was 25 and 34 days, nearly mirroring the 25 and 32-day intervals observed in the current cycle. If this fractal pattern plays out, Bitcoin could be on the verge of another parabolic rally, with $145,000 as a key upside target.
While price projections vary, the overall outlook points to a strong rebound in the near term, potentially setting the stage for BTC’s next major breakout.
