According to an X post by crypto analyst Mister Crypto, BTC recently completed a successful retest of a bullish megaphone pattern. The analyst shared the following chart, suggesting that BTC may finally be ready for a breakout to a new all-time high (ATH).
For the uninitiated, a bullish megaphone pattern occurs when price forms a broadening structure with higher highs and lower lows, followed by a breakout to the upside. It suggests growing volatility and buyer dominance, often leading to strong upward momentum once resistance is broken.
Similarly, fellow crypto analyst Jelle commented on the latest BTC price action, noting that while the digital asset is still trading in a local range, it has successfully flipped previous local highs into support levels.
The analyst added that there’s just one more resistance level to overcome – $112,000. A decisive breakout above this level could propel BTC into what he called the “thin air” zone.
On a longer time frame, BTC appears to be steadily approaching a rising trendline formed by multiple previous resistance levels. Crypto analyst CryptoGoos noted that once Bitcoin breaks above this trendline, “sky is the limit.”
Zooming out further, crypto trader Merlijn the Trader highlighted Bitcoin’s three-year uptrend. He believes the final phase of this uptrend has begun, potentially taking BTC to $240,000 in the coming months.
Short liquidations occur when traders who bet against an asset are forced to close their positions due to rising prices, typically by buying back the asset at a loss. This buying pressure can further drive prices up, often resulting in a rapid price surge known as a short squeeze.
