Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin (BTC) may reach a parabolic blow-off top of $100K next week. As per the ascending triangle pattern, prices could surge to $83K, potentially leading to an explosive move to $100K or higher. However, a subsequent correction to $50K is possible after the halving on April 20. This bullish outlook aligns with Santiment Network's observation of Bitcoin's divergence from the S&P 500 index, historically indicative of extended bull runs.
Bitcoin Primed for Explosive Surge to $100,000 Within a Week, Experts Predict
Financial analysts are heralding a potential parabolic surge in the price of Bitcoin (BTC), forecasting that it could reach a breathtaking high of $100,000 by next week. This bullish prediction is based on a technical analysis of the asset's price movements, which indicate an ascending triangle pattern that has formed during the current consolidation phase.
According to "The Moon," a prominent analyst on X and YouTube, this pattern suggests a significant upward momentum that could culminate in a "blow-off top," where prices experience a sharp spike before a potential correction. The analyst projects that this surge could lead to a new all-time high for BTC, potentially exceeding its previous peak of $73,750.07 set just a month ago.
However, The Moon cautions that this rapid ascent could be followed by a substantial retracement, potentially down to $50,000, once the asset's upward momentum is exhausted. This correction is expected to coincide with Bitcoin's upcoming halving event scheduled for around April 20.
The analyst further posits that this predicted dip could serve as a springboard for Bitcoin to embark on a new bull run, propelling it to even higher price levels.
Brian Quinlivan of Santiment Network echoes this optimistic outlook, noting that the current divergence of Bitcoin's price from the S&P 500 index resembles a historical bullish signal. Quinlivan observes that in the past, such divergences have often preceded extended bull runs for Bitcoin, with the potential to reach price targets of $80,000 to $100,000.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin faces strong resistance at the $72,000 mark, but remains poised for a potential breakout. At 10:30 AM UTC on Saturday, BTC was trading at $67,400, down by over 4% in the previous 24 hours and more than 8% over the past month. Despite this recent dip, Bitcoin still holds a significant appreciation of around 122% over the past year.
The upcoming halving event, which will reduce the block reward for miners by half, is expected to have a profound impact on Bitcoin's price dynamics. The halving has historically triggered bullish rallies, as it decreases the supply of new Bitcoins entering the market and potentially increases demand.
Analysts remain optimistic that Bitcoin is poised for a significant surge in value in the coming week, with the potential to soar to unprecedented levels in the near future. However, they also caution that investors should exercise prudence and be prepared for potential market corrections along the way.
