Bitcoin bounced back after a recent price correction and is now trading above $70,000 this week. The long-term view reveals a strong upward trend since February and a break out of the rising channel, signaling a potential for further rises.
The recent surge has been fueled by institutional demand through ETFs, and if this demand persists, Bitcoin's upward momentum is likely to continue.
Looking ahead, the next target for Bitcoin could be $83,300, given its current stability around $70,000. With the current trading volume, there's an increasing possibility of Bitcoin reaching the $83,000 — $100,000 range in the summer.
In the case of a pullback, a potential decline to $68,500 followed by support at this level is expected to sustain the current trend. However, a drop below $68,500 increases the risk of Bitcoin retracing to the $63,000 region.
