Bitcoin’s price is currently sitting at $71K, moving inside a bubble of $65K to $70K. The token is unable to break past the $70K barrier, with ongoing geopolitical unrest adding more pressure to its price momentum and trajectory. That being said, Bitcoin’s price is now displaying new signals cracked by Ted Pillows, a notable crypto expert. Per Ted, Bitcoin’s price has broken out of its downtrend after going back and forth multiple times. He added how the MACD bullish cross has also flashed over.

Now, in his opinion, the Bitcoin price resumes its pump towards $80K. Post that, BTC may end up encountering a local top and corrections. The asset may then fall back again in Q3, followed by a swifter recovery to $100K by Q4.

“$BTC has broken out of its downtrend. A daily MACD bullish cross has happened too. IMO, this is how Bitcoin could play out. A pump towards $80,000. A local top and correction to new lows. Bottom in Q3 and a quick recovery towards $100,000 by Q4 end if Fed money printing starts.”

The Technical Perspective

According to CoinCodex BTC stats, Bitocin may surge to hit a new high of $83K by the end of 2026.
