Bullish Indicators for BTC
The support level for Bitcoin is at $95,863, while the resistance is at $97,024. If Bitcoin breaks above the $97,024 resistance, analysts predict it could quickly target $100,000. Conversely, a fall below the $95,863 support may lead to a retraction toward the $94,000 range.
Bitcoin’s technical indicators point to sustained bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 70.66, signaling overbought conditions but reflecting strong buying pressure. The RSI average of 61.29 supports this upward trend, highlighting consistent market confidence.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is at 0.312, indicating significant capital inflow into Bitcoin. This metric underscores the increasing demand, suggesting that buyers are driving the price higher. Combined with RSI, the CMF suggests that Bitcoin is poised to maintain its bullish trajectory in the short term.
BRN analyst Valentin Fournier predicts BTC will surpass $100,000 by year-end, driven by institutional inflows and technical strength. The crypto market remains optimistic, buoyed by strong fundamentals and growing adoption.
