Will Bitcoin Price Rally Continue Further?

Amid massive volatility in BTC, some market analysts have cited caution moving ahead. Veteran trader Peter Brandt has drawn attention to a new gap in Bitcoin (BTC) futures, suggesting potential price movements ahead. In his recent post on X, Brandt noted: “And suddenly Bitcoin futures have another gap to fill,” hinting that the Bitcoin price can retrace back to fill the gap.

This shows that the heightened volatility in BTC can continue further from here onwards as well. Another crypto analyst Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin has achieved a significant milestone this week, filling CME gaps at both $78,000-$80,700 and $92,800-$94,000.

However, the surge has also resulted in the creation of a new, sizable CME gap between $84,650 and $94,000. Analysts will now closely monitor Bitcoin price action to see how it interacts with this fresh gap.

The analyst further added that a future weekly close above ~$104,500 could mark a significant breakout from this range, potentially setting the stage for further price momentum.

Additionally, prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has noted an intriguing divergence between Bitcoin’s price movement and global liquidity trends. According to Martinez, global liquidity has been on the rise, a metric to which Bitcoin has historically shown strong correlation.

Strategic Reserve and Crypto Market Rally

Soon after President Donald Trump announced US strategic reserve for Bitcoin and top altcoins, the crypto market has been in a state of euphoria. Altcoins like XRP, ADA, and SOL rallied anywhere between 20-60% yesterday.

Some crypto market analysts also predict a BTC price rally to $150K in March following the Trump executive orders. Commenting on yesterday’s development, Bitcoin critic and analyst Peter Schiff stated:

“I remember when Elon Musk was able to move Bitcoin up or down with a single Tweet. Now Bitcoin is completely dependent on Truth Social posts from Trump. Without a U.S. government bailout Bitcoin will collapse. How ironic given Bitcoin’s origin and supposed purpose for existing”.

As of press time, Bitcoin price is trading 8.56% up at $93,204 levels with daily trading volumes surging by 159% to over $67 billion. As per the Coinglass data, the BTC open interest also surged by 5.89% to $54.49 billion while the 24-hour liquidations have soared to $318.93 million of which $241.21 million is in long liquidations.
