Is the $70,000 Threshold Set to Break?

BINANCE:BTCUSD Chart
Bitcoin Price| Tradingview

Analyzing the Bitcoin price movements on the daily chart reveals the emergence of a bullish pattern that technicians refer to as a “rounding bottom.” This pattern signifies a gradual shift from a bearish to a bullish trend, characterized by a steady and rounded rise in price that resembles the shape of a “U”.

Currently trading at $69371, the coin price teases a bullish breakout from the pattern’s neckline resistance at the $69000-$70000 range. A successful breakout above this barrier will give a better signal for Bitcoin price sustainability for new heights.

If the pattern holds true, the buyers should lead this asset to a theoretical target of $124000.

However, if the overhead supply at $70000 triggers a new correction, the coin holders may find suitable support at $63240, followed by $57500 to regain the exhausted bullish momentum. A potential pullback will still keep the bullish outlook intact as the price may develop into a cup-and-handle pattern.

Bitcoin’s Shrinking Exchange Supply Signals Bullish Market Sentiment

A tweet from crypto trader Ivan Tokenomija, shared by the crypto analytics firm Santiment, highlights a significant trend in the Bitcoin market. The chart indicates a declining balance of Bitcoin on exchanges, which traditionally suggests a reduced selling pressure. A lower exchange supply often leads to the inference that investors are moving BTC to private wallets, typically for long-term holding. 

This “holding” behavior is usually perceived as a bullish sign, implying a potential price increase due to the basic economic principle of scarcity – when supply is reduced, and demand stays constant or increases, the price tends to go up.
