The Bitcoin price traded at $47.9K as of 8:30 a.m. EST after surging 10.3% in the past week amid bullish sentiment that’s been boosted in recent days by the start of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon.

The surge has prompted BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes to eat humble pie after he said earlier that he was shorting BTC in expectation it would slump as low as $35k before rallying again.

Now Hayes says he’s no longer short the king of cryptos and expects Bitcoin to hit a new all-time high of $70k by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden also made headlines after sharing a photo of himself with laser eyes on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Because it was Bitcoin bulls who started using such glowing eyes, it appeared at first that Biden had turned into a Bitcoin ambassador.

In fact, the tweet was an obscure reference to the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory against the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl.

Bitcoin Price Prediction

Analyzing 1-hour BTC/USD charts, we notice the candlesticks within the Pitchfork channel are quite volatile, with wicks on both sides, suggesting indecision between buyers and sellers with Bitcoin trading at 0.33% below its previous 24-hour price. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is at 42.29, which is somewhat neutral but leans towards the lower side, indicating that there isn’t significant buying or selling pressure at the moment.

On the other hand, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is at 16.14, indicating a weak trend. An ADX value below 25 often suggests that there’s no strong trend in the market and the price moves could be more random or based on range-bound conditions.

Despite the recent uncertainty, Bitcoin looks to be on track for a pump in the long term as market activity indicates. This can be attributed to recent data suggesting Wall Street ETFs are buying 12.5x more Bitcoin per day than the network can produce.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: What Are The Chances BTC Won’t Keep Pumping?

With the price now moving above the Pitchfork Median line (Red line) but below the resistance, the Bitcoin price could see a pump in the short term as there is still space to retest the resistance. However, should the price break above the upper trend line of the descending Pitchfork channel with significant volume, it could indicate a potential trend reversal.

Given the ADX indicates a weak trend and the MFI is neutral, there’s also the potential for price to continue moving sideways within the channel, especially if it fails to break out.
