A crypto analyst, Egrag Crypto, is predicting a huge Bitcoin price jump based on a bullish chart pattern.
The “Cup and Handle” Pattern
Egrag Crypto spotted a “Cup and Handle” pattern on Bitcoin’s chart. This pattern, common in technical analysis, suggests a big price increase is coming. Think of it like a U-shaped dip (“cup”) followed by a small dip (“handle”) before a breakout. The analyst believes this pattern indicates Bitcoin is poised for a major move.
Price Predictions: A Wide Range
Using different methods (logarithmic and non-logarithmic scales), Egrag Crypto came up with potential price targets. The conservative estimate is around $113,000, while a more aggressive projection, considering Bitcoin’s historical growth, hits $260,000. Averaging these, the analyst’s personal prediction is $186,000. Another potential target, based on Fibonacci levels, is $175,000. But, there’s a catch: Bitcoin needs to dip back down to around $65,000 first to trigger this upward surge.
Bitcoin Network Fees Drop, But Confidence Wanes?
Meanwhile, Bitcoin network fees have fallen by 24.4%, reaching their lowest point since September 2024. This happened even as Bitcoin’s price fluctuated. However, a significant inflow of Bitcoin into exchanges suggests some investors might be selling, hinting at weakening market confidence.
Current Market Situation
Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $84,545, showing a slight daily gain. However, the past week and month have seen losses, indicating a bearish trend in the short term.
