Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High

On Wednesday, Bitcoin hit a new ATH of $109,800 after breaking out of the $107,000 short-term resistance. The cryptocurrency is now eyeing the $110,000 barrier as its next target.

The cryptocurrency has significantly recovered over the last seven weeks, surging around 47% from its five-month low of $74,000 toward its current levels.

Amid its May rally, BTC couldn’t break the crucial $106,000 resistance, trading between the $102,000-$105,000 range for nearly two weeks. However, its consolidation ended over the weekend as Bitcoin Weekly Closed above this barrier for the first time in history.

Since reclaiming this crucial level on Monday, Analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that the flagship crypto appeared to be forming an ascending triangle pattern in the lower timeframes, which suggested a rally toward the $115,000 level once the price broke above the $107,000 mark.

In the early hours of Wednesday, BTC’s bullish breakout saw it retest the $108,000 barrier, facing rejection toward the $106,000 support before bouncing and smashing this barrier and rallying toward its new ATH.

Rekt Capital affirmed that the Second Price Discovery Uptrend is ahead for the cryptocurrency, as its First Price Accumulation is finally over. The analyst previously highlighted that Bitcoin would rally to a new ATH after Weekly Closing above its re-accumulation range and post-breakout retest.

BTC Preparing For Another 20%-30% Jump?

Analyst crypto Jelle suggested that BTC’s news target is around the $140,000 mark, presenting a Power of Three (PO3) setup on Bitcoin’s chart. The pattern divides the price action into three phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.

In the first phase, a consolidation near the recent high occurs after a strong price performance. This is followed by a token’s price falling below the accumulation phase’s support level in the second phase, with the token trading within a range below the recently lost zone.

Lastly, the distribution phase consists of a strong price breakout, with momentum building and participants entering the market.

According to Jelle, BTC entered the accumulation phase during the Q4 2024 rally. Afterwards, the token entered the next phase during the March-April IV (Implied Volatility) and OI (Open Interest) liquidation, which saw Bitcoin enter a short-term bear market.

After bouncing off this support and breaking out of the resistance in the final phase of the Po3 setup, crypto traders can expect to see a strong rally continue.

"If we use the fib to measure the 3rd wave, we arrive at 138k-140k. But if we use the fib from the low of the 2nd phase to the high of the 3rd phase to get the 5th wave, we arrive at 133k-135k. Both fib targets are about 25%-30% from the current price."

Similarly, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted the same Po3 pattern on BTC’s chart, affirming that investors could expect a “strong expansion” toward the $125,000-$130,000 levels after breaking out of its previous ATH levels.

He previously pointed out that “BTC is clearly repeating the summer 2021 price action and trading in a perfectly bullish structure on high time frame,” which could suggest that the cycle’s top isn’t in yet.

As of this writing, Bitcoin trades 1.8% below its new ATH, at $107,502.
