The Bitcoin market continues to witness an intense price correction in line with broader crypto market movement. In the past week, the premier cryptocurrency recorded another 10% price decline, trading as low as $80,800, before experiencing a modest bounce. Bitcoin now stands 32.79% below its all-time high, with distribution taking preference over accumulation for most investors. However, popular analyst Gert Van Lagen has unveiled an on-chain trend that postulates an impending revival of the bull market.

The renowned analyst explains this forecast, using a long-term logarithmic chart of Bitcoin’s price vs Bitcoin block height, which highlights a regression channel the digital asset has followed since 2009. According to Van Lagen, Bitcoin has followed a similar pattern after every halving, which usually begins with pushing above the midline of this long-term regression channel. Thereafter, the premier cryptocurrency accelerates into a blow-off top (orange spikes) at the channel’s upper boundary as seen in 2013, 2017, and 2021. For all its price exploits in the present market cycle, Bitcoin presently trades just below the midline of the regression channel, suggesting there is ample space for price appreciation. However, Van Lagen notes some unusual price behavior in that Bitcoin has experienced rejection thrice at this midline, each time resulting in a bounce off the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement line. Nevertheless, the analyst still expects the premier cryptocurrency to maintain the 15-year historical trend and eventually secure a decisive move above the midline resistance. If this price development occurs, Van Lagen also predicts Bitcoin to rise to around $350,000 – $400,000, a price range target that aligns with the upper boundary of the regression channel.

Based on the presented analysis, the market expert predicts Bitcoin will crash from this market peak to retest the 210,000 block SMA, i.e, the lower trend line of the regression channel. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at $84,300 after a 2.36% price loss in the past day. In the last month, the crypto market leader has experienced a 21.96% price devaluation, suggesting a rather volatile and cautious market condition. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview
Most of the last trading week presented another stale price action in the Bitcoin (BTC) market undergoing a sustained consolidation. While the premier cryptocurrency recorded a price breakout on March 20 to reclaim the $87,000 price zone, selling pressure soon forced a return to below $84,700, resuming a sideways movement. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price action over the past few months has created a bullish pattern hinting at a substantial price breakout. Related Reading: Is It Time To Buy The Bitcoin Dip? Analysts Share Insights On Current Market Conditions Bitcoin Falling Wedge Signals Another Major Rally- How High Can BTC Fly? In a recent post on X, a digital asset market analyst with the username Mister Crypto provided some bullish insights on the Bitcoin market based on a continuation chart pattern and historical price data. According to Mister Crypto, Bitcoin’s price appears to be forming a falling wedge suggesting a possible price surge could occur upon breakout. The falling wedge is a familiar bullish pattern in technical analysis formed by two converging trend lines due to price action forming lower highs and lower lows. It usually indicates that bearish momentum is weakening and Bitcoin could embark on a sustained uptrend following a breakout from the upper trend line. Interestingly, Mister Crypto notes that Bitcoin has consistently experienced strong price rallies following previous formations of a falling wedge as indicated in the chart above. Notably, there have been three distinct cases in the past two years during which the premier cryptocurrency has surged for an average of 54 days producing an average gain of 67.5%. Looking at the previous periods and the gradual rise in price gain, Bitcoin could rise by an estimated 77% upon a confirmed breakout from its current falling wedge suggesting a strong bullish market in the majority of Q2 2025.

Using data from CryptoQuant, Martinez notes that investors have transferred 10,000 BTC valued at $842.9 million from crypto exchanges to personal decentralized wallets. This development is strongly bullish as it indicates growing market confidence in price appreciation as investors are opting to keep their assets rather than sell. At the time of trading, Bitcoin trades at $84,309 reflecting a price loss of 0.14% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the flagship crypto asset is down by 0.39% on the 7-day chart as consolidation continues. BTC must decisively break above $84,700, avoiding any retrace to confirm any intent of an uptrend. However, other immediate resistance will lie at $86,800 and $90,774. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview
Popular market analyst Egrag Crypto has dropped a Bitcoin price prediction due to the recent formation of a highly bullish chart pattern. The maiden cryptocurrency currently trades above $84,000 following its minor recovery in the latter part of last week. However, the continuity of the current bull run remains uncertain barring a sustained uptrend. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s MVRV Ratio Nears Key Level—Will This Trigger a Major Reversal? Bitcoin’s Bullish Chart Pattern Hints At Major Price Surge In an X post on March 14, Egrag Crypto states the BTC market may be preparing for a major price breakout. According to the technical analysis shared by the trading expert, Bitcoin has formed a Cup and Handle pattern hinting a major bullish move is on the horizon. For context, the Cup and Handle pattern represents a textbook bullish formation that occurs when an asset experiences a rounded bottom i.e. the cup followed by a slight pullback i.e. the handle before a breakout to new highs. This is well illustrated in the weekly chart below following BTC’s price action in the past two years. According to Egrag Crypto, the premier cryptocurrency is on the verge of a breakout with multiple potential price targets in sight. The non-logarithmic target presents a conservative possible price peak of $113,000. Meanwhile, the logarithmic scale which accounts for historical exponential gains points to a price target of $260,000. Taking an average of both methods, Egrag Crypto has picked a personal target of $186,000. The analyst also favors a potential price peak at $175,000 as indicated by the Fibonacci extension level of 1.618 which has historically acted as a reliable cycle top indicator. However, while this analysis presents a robust bullish prediction, Bitcoin must first experience a pullback to around $65,000 to initiate this price surge.

The analytics firm notes that this decline has occurred despite significant market changes which saw Bitcoin slip to $77,000 before rising to reclaim the $85,000 price level. Amidst Bitcoin’s larger struggles, IntoTheBlock also reports that exchange inflows grew by $840 million suggesting a weakening market confidence as investors move to sell their assets. At press time, the crypto market leader is valued at $84,545 reflecting a 3.12% gain in the past day. However, reported losses of 1.76% and 13.11% in the past seven and 30 days indicate a dominant bearish influence in recent weeks. Featured image from iStock, chart from TradingView
According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) gained by 4.08% in the last 24 hours as it briefly traded above the $63,000 price mark. Notably, this price rise comes following a decline that saw the market leader trade below $59,000 on Thursday. While the market sentiment is currently bullish, certain conditions are needed to procure an actual bullish breakout.

Bitcoin On The Brink Of Short-Term Bullish Run Following Bitcoin’s price ascent to around $62,000 on Friday, CryptoQuant analyst with the username Yonsei_dent shared a key insight on the asset’s potential price movement. In a Quickake post, Yonsei_dent highlights $62,700 to be the key price level for short-term holders i.e. $62,700 represents the average price at which many short-holders acquired Bitcoin, which the analyst states has remained consistent for the last three months. Therefore, this presents a critical price level for BTC, a movement above which signals a change in a market shift and can spur buying activity from short-term holders. However, Yonsei_dent notes that Bitcoin needs to rise above $63,000 to initiate a significant bullish momentum over the coming weeks. Since this price commentary, Bitcoin has traded above $63,000, albeit temporarily before retracing to around $62,300. This brief breakout can be traced to a lack of significant trading volume, a condition critical to the short-term bullish breakout deceived by Yonsei_dent. Currently, Bitcoin’s trading volume is valued at $30.75 billion, however, reflecting only a minor 2.94% gain in the last 24 hours. If the price of BTC returned above $63,000 with a marked increase in trading activity, the premier cryptocurrency could rise to around $67,000, at which lies its next significant price resistance level.

Top Analyst Predicts What’s Next For Crypto Bitcoin Approaches Critical November In contrast to popular sentiments, Bitcoin has so far experienced a rather tumultuous experience in October. And while the crypto market leader may eventually pull off an “Uptober”, November is shaping up to potentially provide the needed bullish drivers for the BTC market. Firstly, investors expect the Federal Reserve to implement a 25 basis points cut which would avail more liquidity for volatile assets such as Bitcoin. Furthermore, the upcoming US elections have also gained significant influence in the crypto market with digital asset regulation becoming a major policy discussion. If pro-crypto Republican candidate Donald Trump secures victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, analysts are hopeful the Bitcoin bull run will finally take off. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $62,697 reflecting a 1.07% gain in the last week. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview
