The Bitcoin price action has once again caught the attention of the broader 
crypto market, as it flashes major bullish signals that have, without fail, 
led to significant rallies throughout this cycle. Building on this technical 
signal, a crypto analyst has forecasted that Bitcoin could mirror historical 
trends and potentially surge to a new all-time high. Bollinger Band Signal 
Hints At Bitcoin Price Rally A closer look at Bitcoin’s weekly chart presented 
by Bitcoinsensus on X (formerly Twitter) reveals a critical pattern that has 
only appeared four times since 2022. Each occurrence has marked the beginning 
of a strong upward movement in Bitcoin’s price, making this a highly bullish 
setup. Related Reading: Elliot Wave Theory Shows Where Bitcoin Is In This 
Cycle – Bull Rally Over? The signal in question is the Bollinger Bands, which 
is known to identify potential reversal zones. The analysis shows that Bitcoin 
has recently touched the lower Bollinger Band on the weekly chart and bounced 
upward, confirming a support level that historically acted as a springboard to 
sustained bullish momentum. This marks the fifth time this specific signal has 
occurred during this cycle. Each of the past four signals, highlighted by the 
white circles on the chart, was followed by strong price rallies. Notably, in 
early 2023, Bitcoin rallied from below $2,000 to over $30,000 following the 
appearance of this Bollinger Band signal. A similar pattern played out in 
mid-2023 when this setup triggered a surge that pushed Bitcoin above $45,000. 
Later that year, the same signal preceded a breakout, with BTC soaring past 
$60,000. Most recently, in early 2024, the Bollinger Band signal sparked a 
parabolic run above $100,000. Now, in Q2 of 2025, Bitcoin is once again 
flashing this historically reliable indicator. Its price found strong support 
near the $77,500 level, with resistance levels set above $106,000. As the 
Bollinger Bands align, Bitcoinsensus predicts a potential rally toward 
$130,000 &#8211; $160,000. This would mark a historical all-time high for Bitcoin, 
representing a maximum increase of over 46.7% from its current ATH above 
$109,000. BTC Poised For Breakout As Price Nears $100,000 Again The Bitcoin 
price is once again approaching the $100,000 mark after its latest 4.75% surge 
this past week. Amidst its price recovery, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade 
predicts that Bitcoin will soon break out of bearish resistance to reach new 
highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Raging Bull Indicator Turns Back On, But This 
Level Holds The Key The analyst shared a BTC chart analysis highlighting a 
recurring breakout pattern that has historically preceded large upward moves 
after a breakout from a descending resistance trendline. This pattern has 
emerged three times in the past: first from late 2022 to early 2023, then from 
mid-2023 to early 2024, and finally from late 2024 to early 2025. In the 
current setup, Bitcoin is once again testing the descending trendline 
resistance and appears to be breaking out from it. If history is any 
indication, the analyst projects a potential target zone between $100,000 &#8211; 
$136,000, marking a new ATH. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from

Bitcoin Price Flashes Signal That Has Led To A Surge Every Time

Tech company Meta is reportedly exploring integrating stablecoin payments into 
its platforms after a three-year hiatus from cryptocurrencies, Fortune 
reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The Facebook parent held talks with several crypto infrastructure firms in 
consultation but has not chosen a decisive course of action, according to the 
report.
One source said the company may take a multi-token approach and integrate 
support for popular stablecoins such as Tether&#8217;s USDt (USDT), Circle&#8217;s USD 
Coin (USDC) and others.
Meta is the latest tech firm to integrate or explore the use of stablecoins 
for payments, as they increasingly attract institutional interest and 
investment, causing the stablecoin market capitalization to soar past $230 
billion.

Several payment processing companies announced investments into stablecoin 
companies or announced stablecoin integrations in May this year.
On May 7, payments giant Visa announced that it invested in stablecoin startup 
BVNK. Although details of the deal remain scant, Visa&#8217;s head of products and 
partnerships, Rubail Birwadker, said stablecoins were commanding an ever- 
greater market share of payments.
Stripe, a global payments platform, launched stablecoin-based accounts for 
customers in over 100 countries on May 7.
The accounts allow users to store stablecoin balances or transfer the tokens 
to other users and withdraw the stablecoin balances as fiat currency to 
traditional bank accounts.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto firm backed by US President Donald 
Trump, launched USD1, a US dollar-pegged stablecoin, in March.
In May, USD1 was the seventh-largest stablecoin by market cap &#8212; highlighting 
the rapid growth of the tokenized fiat market.
The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that stablecoins are central to 
US policy and a way to extend US dollar hegemony by harnessing demand for US 
government Treasurys and other government securities.

However, comprehensive stablecoin regulations were stalled on May 8 after 
Democratic Senators blocked the GENIUS Stablecoin bill &#8212; dashing the hopes of 
senior officials in the Trump administration.
&#8220;The Senate missed an opportunity to provide leadership today by failing to 
advance the GENIUS Act. This bill represents a once-in-a-generation 
opportunity to expand dollar dominance,&#8221; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 
wrote in a May 8 X post.
