Bitcoin recently dropped back below $100,000, slipping to $96,000 and sparking over $1.6 billion in liquidations.
Despite this short-term pullback, many analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term outlook, predicting that it could potentially reach $400,000 by 2026.
Technical analysis by TradingShot points to key indicators that suggest Bitcoin’s bullish trend is still intact. The cryptocurrency has followed a consistent pattern for over a year, supported by the 50-week moving average, which has acted as a reliable support level during previous bull runs. As long as Bitcoin stays above this level, the broader market sentiment remains positive.
Bitcoin’s historical price cycles further support these projections, with patterns from previous halving events indicating that Bitcoin could hit its peak by late 2025 or early 2026. Even under more conservative estimates, Bitcoin could still surpass $200,000.
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals further growth potential. After dropping from an overbought high in March 2024, the RSI suggests that Bitcoin is in a healthy correction phase and could see more upward momentum before reaching its final peak.
Bitcoin’s future trajectory is influenced by various factors, including institutional interest, macroeconomic conditions, and geopolitical developments. While short-term volatility is expected, a lower interest rate environment could offer additional support for Bitcoin. However, analysts caution that maintaining price levels above $96,000 is crucial to avoiding a significant downturn.
Despite Bitcoin soaring past $120,000 and testing new all-time highs, several high-frequency market indicators suggest that the current bull run may still be gathering momentum.
