Bitcoin 14% Surge: Next $70k or downturn?

Bitcoin (BTC) has rallied 14% over the past week and is now battling to maintain its position above $66,500. Analysts are analyzing the leading cryptocurrency’s price trajectory, debating whether this is a temporary pause before a major leap or if bearish forces are regaining control.

On July 18, analyst Mags highlighted Bitcoin’s resilience after dipping below the 200-day moving average (MA). Drawing parallels to a similar event in August 2023, Mags noted that BTC’s price surged 164% after reclaiming the 200 MA. If history repeats, BTC could soon breach the $70,000 mark.

Mags further elaborated on the current market phase, suggesting that the “real” bull run hasn’t even begun. Historically, Bitcoin tends to move sideways for several months following a halving event. This period of consolidation often presents the final opportunity for investors to accumulate BTC at lower prices before a vertical price movement occurs.

The analyst pointed out that the monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) hasn’t yet reached extreme levels (90+) as seen in previous cycles, indicating significant upside potential. Mags emphasized that the next phase of this bull cycle could be “legendary.”

Adding to the bullish sentiment, analyst Rekt Capital highlighte­d the significance of Bitcoin holding firm at its current blue­ level, reinforcing the­ optimistic outlook. If Bitcoin can maintain this support, it may head towards retesting the­ $71,500 threshold.

Historical data indicates that breaching the­ $65,000 mark often leads to a return to the­ low $70,000 range. Confirmation of a breakthrough would come with a daily closure­ above this crucial blue leve­l, accompanied by a subsequent re­evaluation.

After a re­cent price correction, Bitcoin has shown promising signs, bouncing back swiftly and surpassing $66,000. This re­surgence has sparked talks about the­ cryptocurrency’s potential for achieving ne­w record highs soon.
