Highlights

  • Bitcoin price eyes new record highs, but first, it requires several four-hour candle closes above $70,000.
  • Renewed demand for ETFs contributed to the solid technical structure as BTC targets $80,000.
  • Declines below $70,000 could mean new opportunities to buy the dip.

Bitcoin price prediction: Amid the hype leading to the halving in April, Bitcoin price is fast gaining momentum above $70,000. Investors are banking on continuing the pre-halving rally and the interest in Bitcoin ETFs, whose cumulative total net volume is nearing $12 billion on March 28.

Should Bitcoin price break the all-time high at $73,803, FOMO will kick in and ignite a larger rally eyeing the $80,000 milestone before halving.

Bitcoin hovers at $71,266 during US business hours on Thursday and boasts a modest 2.4% growth in value in 24 hours. With the trading volume falling marginally to $38 billion, interest remains relatively unchanged.

The Bitcoin futures market is back on its previous uptrend following BTC’s sell-off from the all-time high slightly above $73,000 to $60,000. Investors temporarily lost faith in the uptrend, which was mirrored by the open interest plunging to $31.58 billion on March 20.

According to Coinglass data, the current open interest has reversed the trend reaching over $35 billion, implying that interest in the rally is gradually getting back on track.

Whales have also been on an uptake streak not only with ETFs but also with standard blockchain transactions. According to IntoTheBlock, transactions of at least $100,000 considered to be large have surpassed 26,000 contributing to the bullish force behind Bitcoin price.

After several days of dismal performance in the Bitcoin ETF sector, investors seem to have made their way back, pumping the total daily net inflow to $417.98 million as of March 26, according to SoSoValue data.

BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC are the best-performing ETF products with Ark Invest and 21Shares falling not so far behind.

If this commendable uptake of ETFs continues ahead of Bitcoin halving, momentum could continue to build for a breakout targeting $80,000.

Assessing Bitcoin’s Solid Technical Structure

Meanwhile, Bitcoin holds above all three key bull market indicators from the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the 50-day EMA, and the 200-day EMA (the blue, red, and purple lines on the four-hour chart).

Traders would also want to see several four-hour closes above $69.996 — the previous day’s open to ascertain whether the uptrend is sustainable. However, a daily close below the same level could weigh down the bulls resulting in another sweep through lower support areas as highlighted by the 20-day EMA, the 50-day EMA, and the 200-day EMA on the four-hour chart.

The Moving Average in the same time frame signals an incoming sell signal. Hence, traders must be alert in case the blue MACD line crosses below the red signal line as the indicator slides toward the neutral area. If this happens, some may consider to short Bitcoin or waiting until it rebounds off a support area before longing for the coin again.
