Bitcoin Breaks Above Key Level, Setting Stage for Possible Rally
Bitcoin has been on an upward trend since breaking above its 50-week moving average. This level, which has historically marked turning points at the end of previous bear markets, is currently sitting at $80,441.66.
According to a chart analyst, simply breaking above this level isn't enough - what matters more is whether Bitcoin can hold above it for a few weeks straight. As of now, momentum is pointing up, and the analyst believes this could be the start of a bigger move higher.
The analyst has laid out three possible scenarios for what could happen next. The first scenario is that Bitcoin completes one more high to form a clean five-part upward pattern, followed by a smaller three-part pullback. This would be a strong signal that Bitcoin is in an uptrend and potentially open the door to a run toward $120,000 or higher.
The second scenario is a deeper pullback, down toward the $39,000 to $44,000 range, if the current upward move fails to hold higher ground after reaching a peak. The analyst views this as a buying opportunity rather than a warning sign, given that the bigger trend for Bitcoin still points upward.
