Bitcoin Price Analysis: Why Are Bulls Charging To $70,000?

Highlights

  • Bitcoin is projected to rebound from $68,000 support ahead of another breakout above $70,000.
  • The FOMC meeting starts on June 11 while the CPI report is expected on June 12.
  • Bitcoin's future open interest jumped to a new record high, cementing positive sentiment in the market.

Bitcoin price is back to trading below the pivotal $70,000 after losing ground over the weekend. Last week was bullish for BTC—also altcoins and especially among meme coins like Pepe, Notcoin, and GameStop.

Should Bitcoin secure support at $68,000, interest in the gigantic coin will grow significantly as traders look forward to the next attempt to reach new all-time highs.

What To Expect This Week As The Fed Holds FOMC Meeting?

The Federal Open Markets Committee will begin its sitting on Tuesday, June 11 to deliberate key economic policies touching on inflation and interest rates. Similarly, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report used to gauge the inflation trend will be released on June 12.

Economists project the CPI at 3.4% to match the previous 3.4%. This data will help central bank officials in the FOMC to affirm the bank’s outlook on the economy.

Traders should anticipate volatility during the week, which calls for caution among investors. However, the FOMC meeting is unlikely to result in a change in interest rates.

Market watchers say that the Fed could make the first interest rate cut in September.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Signals Fron Narrowing Bollinger Bands

The largest cryptocurrency hovered at $65,375 on Monday below key indicators such as the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in blue and the 50-day EMA in red on the four-hour chart.

Bitcoin also sits below the Bollinger bands’ middle boundary. Nevertheless, it is important to pay attention to the bands’ narrowing. In other words, BTC is getting ready for a breakout whose direction may be decided later in the week as the market reacts to the CPI report and the FOMC meeting.

The more the Bollinger bands converge, the larger the breakout could be. Hence, a break above resistance at $69,642 may affirm the uptrend and increase the chances of a return above $70,000.

Remember Bitcoin price prediction recently breached the ascending trend line’s support. This was to the disadvantage of the bulls—and if this level goes unreclaimed for much longer, selling pressure will increase. Such an outcome may push BTC below $68,000 and bring support at $66,000 within reach.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reinforces the bearish grip on the trend but bulls still have time to fight for control as the RSI moves sideways at 45. Should the sliding continue into the oversold region, the path of least resistance will lean more to the south.

An uptrend will start to build for a breakout above $70,000 backed by the Bollinger bands’ constriction.

Considering the bullish outlook of Bitcoin ETFs with a daily total net inflow of $139 million on Friday, market sentiment remains positive. Moreover, the Bitcoin futures market recently hit a new record high above $37.5 billion, cementing the bullish outlook.
