Bitcoin Price Nears $100K Milestone – Can The Bulls Sustain The Momentum?

The Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) pair shows a strong bullish trend. According to data from GeckoTerminal, an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern formed between July and September, signaling a reversal from bearish to bullish momentum. This pattern was confirmed in early October when Bitcoin broke above the neckline, leading to a sustained upward trend.

The moving averages further support the bullish case. A golden cross occurred in late October as the 50-day SMA (green) crossed above the 200-day SMA (blue). Both moving averages are trending upwards, reflecting strong buying momentum.

The BTC price currently holds well above the major support level at $74,360, previously a resistance level before being flipped. This level now acts as a key base for continued upward movement.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 80.61, indicating overbought conditions. While this reflects strong bullish momentum, it also suggests the possibility of a short-term pullback or consolidation before further gains.

The ongoing rally has pushed Bitcoin near its target price of $98,000, derived from the inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. A parabolic trajectory could drive the Bitcoin price to its psychological $100,000 level within reach.

Despite the bullish outlook, caution is warranted. Overbought RSI levels often lead to corrections, and a drop below $74,360 could indicate weakening momentum. The 200-day SMA, near $65,725, would be the next critical support in such a scenario.
