Bitcoin’s initial break above the 6-figure price point back in 2024, and then 
the eventual move to an all-time high of $126,000, has fueled the expectations 
of higher price points. Even now, as the price continues to trend below 
$100,000, it has done little to erase the bullish momentum surrounding the 
cryptocurrency, especially in the long term. As a result, predictions continue 
to come out that the Bitcoin price will eventually trade at 6-figures again, 
and eventually, new all-time highs. Mapping The Bitcoin Price Recovery In a 
post on the TradingView website, Setupsfx points out an interesting thing 
about the Bitcoin price chart and why this is bullish for the digital asset. 
After the Bitcoin price reclaimed $70,000 earlier in the week, it set the tone 
for another recovery trend, and the analyst suggests that this means that the 
price can still climb to $200,000. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price At 
$100 Is Not Insane If You Understand This The analysis highlights that, unlike 
before, the break above $72,000 came with strong bullish volume. What this 
simply means is that there is a lot of demand right now for the 
cryptocurrency, and that is what is driving the current uptrend. If this 
holds, then the price is likely to continue upward rather than experience 
another crash. Following the current trend, the analysis sets the first major 
Bitcoin target at the $104,000 level. This is important because there is a 
liquidity void sitting in this area. This means that there could be a stop to 
the uptrend at this level, being a major point of resistance. However, all 
hope is not lost at this point because it simply shows how important it is to 
break this resistance. Once this breaks, it sets the cryptocurrency on the 
path to the next major target, which lies at $124,000. Reaching $124,000 would 
be momentous for the Bitcoin price as this is just below its current all-time 
high levels. Related Reading: Dogecoin Morning Doji Star Shows Bullish 
Reversal That Will Send Price To $0.8 The final target for this analysis 
actually lies at the $134,000 level, which could deem the uptrend complete. As 
for the rally to $200,000, the analyst explains that this is still possible, 
despite many saying that it is unrealistic. Mainly, the $200,000 target is set 
for the long-term view of the cryptocurrency. Featured image from Dall.E,

Bitcoin (BTC) began the week with a sharp rebound that briefly lifted the 
world’s largest cryptocurrency back toward the $74,000 mark on Wednesday for 
the first time in more than a month. However, as the week comes to a close, 
that momentum has faded, with BTC sliding back to roughly $68,260. Even with 
the choppy price action, on-chain analytics firm Amber Data argues that the 
broader outlook for Bitcoin remains constructive. In its latest market report, 
the firm suggests that new all-time highs are still possible this year. Post- 
Liquidation Reset Amber Data describes Bitcoin as entering 2026 in an unusual 
position. The market, it says, has been “de-risked” following October’s 
liquidation event, which they assert flushed out excessive leverage from the 
market. In the report, they contend that open interest had climbed to 
“unsustainable levels,” the basis trade had become overcrowded, and funding 
rates reflected stretched positioning. Related Reading: Bank Resistance Puts 
2026 Passage Of Crypto Market Structure Bill In Doubt, Reuters When headlines 
surrounding President Donald Trump’s tariff policies hit the market, the 
overleveraged structure was unable to withstand the selling pressure. The 
result was a cascade of liquidations that wiped out weak hands and reset 
positioning. While painful, the correction served a purpose. Valuations have 
since normalized, leverage has been largely cleared from the system, and the 
Bitcoin market structure appears healthier, Amber Data noted. Yet the recovery 
remains fragile. Liquidity is still impaired, and the carry trade — once a 
major driver of activity — is no longer especially attractive. In Amber Data’s 
view, the market is now structurally sound but lacks a clear catalyst to 
define its next major move. ‘Muddle Through’ Phase In its base case, which it 
assigns a 50% probability, Bitcoin trades between $90,000 and $120,000. This 
outcome envisions extended consolidation until a meaningful macro catalyst 
emerges. Under this “muddle through” scenario, conditions neither worsen 
dramatically nor improve significantly. Volatility compresses, enthusiasm 
cools, and both bullish breakout expectations and bearish collapse predictions 
are repeatedly frustrated. Early signs supporting this scenario would include 
basis annual percentage rates recovering to 8–10%, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows 
turning consistently positive, order book depth returning toward pre-crash 
conditions, and funding rates stabilizing in positive territory. 25% Chance 
Bitcoin Breakout To $180,000 Amber Data assigns a 25% probability to a more 
optimistic outcome, with Bitcoin climbing between $120,000 and $180,000. In 
this bull case, institutional participation accelerates alongside sovereign 
adoption, creating a feedback loop of expanding flows. Early confirmation 
signals would include weekly Bitcoin ETF inflows exceeding $1 billion, basis 
rates expanding beyond 15% as leverage demand surges, and new accumulation 
cohorts appearing in HODL wave data, indicating fresh capital entering at 
scale. Bear Case Targets $60,000 On the downside, Amber Data assigns a 20% 
probability to a bearish scenario in which Bitcoin trades between $60,000 and 
$80,000. This would occur if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate more sharply 
than currently expected and global markets shift decisively into risk-off 
mode. Warning signs would include sustained ETF outflows exceeding $1 billion 
per week, basis yields collapsing below 3%, widespread stablecoin redemptions 
signaling capital flight, and a potential test of the $80,000 ETF cost basis 
level. Related Reading: XRP Faces High Risk Of Breakdown Below $1.30, Expert 
Flags Bitcoin As Main Threat Finally, the firm outlines a 5% probability 
“volatility and chop” scenario, in which Bitcoin trades between $75,000 and 
$110,000 with no sustained directional trend. Indicators would include sharply 
fluctuating funding rates, repeated spikes and collapses in open interest as 
positions are liquidated on both sides, and inconsistent ETF flows alternating 
between inflows and outflows without a clear pattern. Featured image from
