Bitcoin moved back toward $72,000 after US President Donald Trump confirmed a 
ceasefire agreement with Iran, sending oil prices crashing below $100.

Oil falls, Bitcoin jumps to $72K, but is this BTC price breakout for real?

Bitcoin has been in a bearish trend that spilled over from 2025 into the year 
2026. This has persisted from January, and throughout the first quarter of the 
year, the Bitcoin price has continued to decline as a result. This trend, 
however, seems to be nearing its end with the most recent move. According to 
one crypto analyst, there has been a deviation, which could end up being very 
important for the cryptocurrency to enter the next bull market. Bitcoin 
Rejection Trend Is Coming To An End Looking back at the performance of the 
Bitcoin price starting from January through the end of the first quarter of 
the year, crypto analyst CrypFlow highlights that there has been a constant 
bearish trend. This is characterized by the cryptocurrency encountering a 
rejection with each push upward, and then pushing back downward even lower.

Price This was the case in January, and this was still the case last week 
following the price rejection. However, with the pump at the start of the 
week, Bitcoin is starting to move in another direction. Instead of a rejection 
and then a lower move, bulls are looking to sustain the uptrend. The initial 
move above $69,000 saw the Bitcoin price print a higher high for the first 
time, suggesting a change in direction. Not only did the higher high appear, 
but also, there has been a change in the momentum, which suggests strength on 
the part of bulls. As a result, there is the fact that the Bitcoin RSI is now 
reclaiming its moving average, which was lost earlier in the year. In addition 
to this, the Stochastic RSI printed a bullish cross at the start of the month. 
CrypFlow points out that this is a major difference because, back in January, 
the momentum had failed. But this time around, the momentum is getting 
stronger. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Could 
Keep Crashing This Week Since the price moved lower when the momentum failed 
back in January, it is assumed that the price will move higher now that the 
momentum is holding up. This deviation might end up being what changes the 
narrative for the Bitcoin price this time around. “Which makes this the first 
real deviation from that pattern. If this holds, this could be the start of a 
short-term trend shift,” the analyst said. As for the Bitcoin price, the move 
above $69,000 is important because it is the previous cycle peak. Thus, this 
level could serve as a generational resistance level. Once broken with 
adequate momentum, it could signal a return of the bull market. Featured image
