Биткоин на грани перемен: трейдер предсказывает мощный рост после боковика Headline: Bitcoin on the Brink of Change: Trader Predicts Strong Growth After Sideways Movement

The current lateral movement of the leading cryptocurrency, amidst the record surge in gold and silver, aligns with a historical pattern that traditionally precedes a rally in the digital asset market. This perspective was shared by a trader known as Bull Theory.

The expert recalled that after the market crash in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, precious metals were the first to respond to the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve. Gold’s price rose from $1,450 to $2,075, while silver increased from $12 to $29, with Bitcoin fluctuating between $9,000 and $12,000.

Traditional assets peaked in August, prompting a capital shift towards riskier sectors, including digital assets. From August 2020 to May 2021, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed from $12,000 to $64,800, and the market’s capitalization grew eightfold.

According to Bull Theory, the present situation is a mirror image of that time: gold and silver have reached record highs, while Bitcoin is confined to a narrow range following the drop on October 10-11.

However, the current cycle shows some differences from the previous one, as there are more catalysts present in the market.

“While the previous cycle was primarily driven by monetary liquidity, today we are witnessing a unique configuration where external stimuli are augmented by a significant change in the market’s internal structure. The overall scenario is similar, but the foundation has become stronger, and the potential momentum is greater,” stated the trader.

In addition to the Federal Reserve’s actions, he highlighted the main drivers:

“That’s why the current sideways movement in Bitcoin is not the beginning of a bear market, but rather a calm before the storm,” Bull Theory summarized.

Long-term Bitcoin holders have ceased selling for the first time since July. Crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows remarked that this could lay the groundwork for a «recovery rally.»

An analyst going by the name Jelle pointed to a developing «hidden bullish divergence» on Bitcoin’s monthly chart, which may indicate an impending upward breakout.

“For Bitcoin to solidify this, it needs to close the month in the green zone; a close above $90,360 — and we’ll be in a strong position,” he noted.

Another specialist, known as Captain Faibik, believes that the struggle around the $90,000 level is crucial, as it marks the resistance line of a descending expanding wedge on the eight-hour chart.

Surpassing this barrier would not only signify a local increase but also a complete breakthrough of the bearish structure, technically paving the way toward a target in the vicinity of $122,000.

“If the market achieves this, we could witness a fully ‘bullish’ January,” he emphasized.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at approximately $87,800, having decreased by 1.8% over the past 24 hours.

It is worth noting that investor Anthony Pompliano has forecasted a stable year for Bitcoin in 2026. Meanwhile, Bitwise’s investment director, Matt Hougan, has gone further, suggesting that the asset will continue to show robust returns over the next decade.
