Bitcoin’s Rally Unstoppable : Could it Hit $100,000 This Week ?
Despite a challenging start to the year, Bitcoin is showing signs of renewed vigour. A major chart pattern is emerging on the daily chart, indicating a potential continuation of the rally towards $100,000 and beyond.
The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a resurgence this week. The Bitcoin (BTC), the central driver of the ecosystem, is attracting attention with a +12% increase over the past week.
In this bullish context, a specific technical configuration — a Harmonic “Cypher” pattern — is emerging on the daily chart of BTC. This signal could anticipate a continuation of the rally towards a symbolic level: $100,000… or even beyond.
A Harmonic pattern is a precise chart analysis tool based on Fibonacci retracement ratios. In this case, it’s a Cypher, usually interpreted as a continuation signal, despite its structure resembling a reversal.
On the daily Heikin Ashi candlestick chart, the following configuration stands out:
Point X – Start of the pattern: Rejection at $109,557 (historical high on January 20, 2025)
Point A: Initial drop from the peak
Point B: Technical rebound
Point C: Significant correction, reaching around $74,522 on April 7
Point D: Theoretical target estimated at $102,546 (78.6% retracement of leg XC)
Despite a slight deviation on the Fibonacci extension (Point C < 1.27 ideally), the pattern remains valid, offering interesting short-term upside potential. Since Point C, BTC has already surged by over 25%, currently trading around $94,269.
Bitcoin (BTC) Targets
If the Cypher pattern confirms, the next major target to watch is Point D at $102,546. This would represent a nearly +9% increase from the current level. Before that, an intermediate hurdle stands at $97,043, corresponding to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of impulse XC — a critical zone monitored by short-term traders.
Additionally, this formation also displays a “W” pattern on Bitcoin, a pattern widely used by traders. As a result, many traders might take profits anticipating a retracement after this “W”.
Key levels to monitor:
🔸 Immediate Resistance: $97,043 (61.8% Fibonacci)
🔸 Major Resistance: $102,546 (78.6% Fibonacci)
🔸 Key Support: $74,500 (low of Point C of the pattern)
Although the indicators have not been detailed on the chart, several points confirm the current momentum:
RSI rising, confirming renewed buying interest
MACD crossing into positive territory (a precursor signal of a new uptrend)
Increasing volume, confirming the breakout above $94,000
The trend is still dominated by the bulls, supported by more stable macroeconomic fundamentals and reduced selling pressure post-halving.
What to Do ? Advice and Possible Scenarios
Institutional investors, often cautious around psychological levels (like $100,000), may take an active stance if the $97,000 resistance is breached with volume.
As long as the Harmonic pattern remains valid:
Aggressive traders could target the full extension at $102,546, while securing some profits around $97,000
Long-term investors could consider any correction towards $88,000 – $90,000 as a reloading opportunity
Prudent portfolio managers could wait for a clear breakout above $97,000 before adding to positions
🚨Bitcoin est devenu haussier à court terme, depuis le MSS (Market Structure Shift)📈
Le setup ressemble actuellement à une réaccumulation de Wyckoff, mais la demand des 73,000$ n'a pas été touchée❌

Analyst Zoral, however, warns of a potential distribution between $99,000 and $94,000. Indeed, Bitcoin has not retraced to the demand zone at $73,300. According to him, even though it “is not mandatory to return there,” there is a much lower probability of reaching new highs instead of making a new lower low below $74,400.
In conclusion, with this ongoing validation of the Harmonic Cypher pattern, Bitcoin seems well positioned to extend its bullish cycle. If intermediate resistances give way, the market could soon re-test (and potentially exceed) the historical milestone of $100,000.
A Harmonic structure is a powerful tool but offers no guarantees. Monitoring potential Bitcoin distribution in the coming days or weeks will be crucial.
