Is Bitcoin’s Key Support Ready for a Massive Breakout?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently in a consolidation phase within a zone ranging from $69,540 to $71,300<\/strong>, the king of cryptos<\/a> surprised the market with a sudden rally<\/strong>. This violent move toward $73,000,<\/strong> occurring after the announcement of a deal between Trump and Iran, caused an absolute bloodbath for short sellers. In total, a massive volatility event worth $596 million<\/strong> wiped out over 120,000 reckless traders<\/strong>, confirming the strength of the current trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brutal liquidation<\/strong> of short<\/em> positions demonstrates the underlying resilience of the market against selling pressure. Technically, BTC has managed to break out of its compression zone. The $72,000 level is now acting as a major psychological resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this pump is promising, technical analysis might indicate a local top at $72,700<\/strong>. Indeed, not only has Bitcoin<\/a> reached the top of its range and formed a swing failure pattern (failing to break out of the range high and falling back inside), but BTC is also printing a bearish divergence<\/strong> on its 4H RSI. With this 4H RSI in overbought territory, BTC could trade sideways or even retest the mid range at $68,000<\/strong> before potentially targeting the $74,000 to $78,000<\/strong> zone in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How High Can the Price of Bitcoin (BTC) Soar?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The burning question on everyone’s lips is whether this breakout<\/strong> is the prelude to a new bull run. According to on chain analysis, breaking and closing above $73,000 is just the first step. The true catalyst for the bull market lies between $78,000 and $82,000<\/strong>, a highly anticipated technical and psychological level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bitcoin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For now, Bitcoin is facing two 12 hour order blocks and is sitting at the top of its range. Caution and shorting should be favored here as long as it has not printed a daily close above $73,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a range trading perspective, Bitcoin could very well retest $75,000<\/strong> by early May before heading back down to seek its lows around $62,000<\/strong> in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be swing longing $BTC<\/a> at 62.6K on 2.75X leverage.

Target 150-160K.

Projected duration: approximately 2.5 years.
