Highlights

  • The formation of the cup and handle pattern set the Bitcoin price for a massive rally similar to Gold and the S&P 500.
  • BTC's daily chart shows a seven-month sideways trend with key resistance at $70,000.
  • Crypto analyst highlights $65,000 to $66,000 as key intraday support for BTC price.

In the last two weeks, the Bitcoin price rallied from $60,321 to $66,657, registering a 10.4% growth. This upswing restores the Uptober sentiment in the crypto market and signals the BTC buyer’s attempt to end the 7-month consolidation. Amid renewed buying momentum, a crypto analyst predicted a BTC surge to $230k as its price action mimics Gold’s bullish pattern.

Bitcoin Price Shatters 7-Month Consolidation with Whale Influx

In a recent tweet, crypto analyst Gertvan Lagen revealed that Bitcoin’s price formed a cup and handle pattern similar to the S&P 500 index and Gold’s development before hitting their new high. The three charts showed a similar saucer-shaped recovery and a temporary pullback before triggering a massive rally.

Theoretically, the chart setup shows a clear transition from a downtrend to a sideways/accumulation trend followed by a recovery rally. Before entering a full-fledged recovery, the chart pattern offers a short correction for buyers to recuperate the bullish momentum.

In technical analysis, the target for a breakout is often determined by measuring the depth of the cup in the CNH pattern and applying that value to the expected breakout point. If the pattern holds true, Lagen shows a potential BTC price rally to a $230K high.

The aforementioned target closely aligns with the long-term prediction of several crypto experts, who believe BTC’s six-digit price is plausible.

BTC Price Forecast: Will $65K Support Hold or Break?

In a recent tweet, crypto analyst TraderXO highlights that the Bitcoin price is currently positioned near a key support level, with significant bids between the $65,000 and $66,000 range.

Following a recent reversal of $70,000, the BTC price is poised to retest the above-mentioned support to seek sustainability. If the sellers break this foothold, the coin price could plunge 7.5% to retest the monthly support at $62,500.
