Bitcoin has recovered above $105,000, after dipping under $013,000 earlier this week, with this rebound supported by the formation of a Golden Cross.
Following the Bitcoin price crash under $103,000 earlier this week amid the Iran-Israel conflict, BTC has recovered once again above the $105,000 support with a classic golden cross pattern formation. Moreover, following yesterday’s dip, traders have also initiated fresh long bets, highlighting confidence in the upcoming market rally.
Bitcoin Price Eyes Rally to $229K With This Golden Cross Breakout
Renowned crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has highlighted a key technical milestone for Bitcoin, as its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossed above the 200-day SMA, forming a “Golden Cross.” Historically, this indicator has preceded substantial price rallies for Bitcoin.
According to the analyst, during previous such instances of “Golden Cross” formation, BTC price has rallied 49%, 125%, and 68%. Based on the same projections, BTC might register further gains from $152,000 at the lower end to $229,000 at the upper end, depending on market conditions.

This signal has boosted $BTC by 49%, 125%, and 68% since 2023 whenever it has occurred.
If $BTC experiences its worst and best gains from this point, it could reach $152k and $229k.

Another popular analyst, Rekt Capital, has made an interesting observation that following the rejection to $110K, BTC price recoiled again. However, the magnitude of the dip a few weeks back was 8%, while this time, the Bitcoin price dipped by 5.8%. This hints at the formation of higher lows, which will lead to the resistance getting weaker and eventually could trigger a breakout above $110K.
Bitcoin has rejected from the final major Weekly resistance
But how strong will this rejection be?
Rejection from a few weeks ago caused a -8% dip
Thus far, this rejection caused a -5.8% dip
If this dip is shallower -> resistance getting weaker$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin https://t.co/SCyCFDMt4D pic.twitter.com/miX0LoHeJs

On the other hand, global macro investor and founder of Real Vision, Raoul Pal, said investors should not be disturbed by the current volatility and keep following the global M2 supply. Pal wrote:
“Keeps trucking along, doing its debasement thing… if 89% of all BTC’s price action is explained by Global Liquidity, then by definition almost all “news” and “narrative” is noise”.

Traders Take Fresh Bitcoin Long Bets After Recent Dips
According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin traders have predominantly taken long positions following the cryptocurrency’s recent dip. This strategy has yielded modest returns as Bitcoin’s price has shown a slight recovery.
In contrast, Ethereum traders have shifted strategies, moving from long to short positions based on the asset’s immediate price movements. This reactive trading behavior highlights the differing sentiments between the Bitcoin and Ethereum markets.
📊 Bitcoin traders have mostly gone long on prices ever since yesterday's dip bottomed out, and have been slightly rewarded. Meanwhile, Ethereum traders have shifted from longing to shorting based on whatever the asset's price has done most recently.

Santiment noted that exchange funding rates, which often swing from one extreme to another, are susceptible to liquidation events. The firm emphasized that the best entry points typically arise when the market sentiment is bearish.
