Bitcoin Hits 10-Week High Above $77,000 as Analysts Eye $88,000 Target

Key Facts

1Technical analyst 'Cheds' identifies a 'compound fulcrum bottom' pattern forming on Bitcoin's daily chart, suggesting a potential trend reversal.
2The technical pattern is viewed as a potential signal for the end of the price correction that saw Bitcoin drop toward the $60,000 level.

Bitcoin has surged to a new 10-week high above $77,000, with traders eyeing an $88,000 target as the broader crypto market flipped to a risk-on sentiment overnight. This sudden shift is primarily driven by macro-economic relief rather than being based solely on technical chart patterns. While historical cycles previously suggested potential declines, the current macro-driven momentum has significantly lowered the probability of a deeper price crash. Despite the bullish sentiment, Coinglass data still highlights $3.1 billion in liquidation risks if prices fall below $73,610. Market participants are now pivoting their focus from technical cycle analysis to broader economic factors fueling the rally. As Bitcoin's dominance persists, the market faces a tug-of-war between this new macro tailwind and lingering historical cycle warnings.
