achieved new highs of $2.17 trillion and $911.5 billion, as noted by

With bullish momentum on BTC&#8217;s side, crypto trader Titan of Crypto noted that 
a Bitcoin price target for $135,000 remains in &#8220;play&#8221; for 2025. Tracking its 
returns with respect to key high time frame resistance and support levels over 
the past two years, the forecast uses the Fibonacci extension tool, which 
identifies price targets by measuring previous price swings.

On the chart, the 1.618 Fibonacci level, drawn to a swing high from a swing 
low, aligns at $135,000-$140,000, identifying a potential target.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt acknowledged BTC&#8217;s new high but pointed out that 
such milestones are &#8220;not technically significant&#8221; during bull markets. The 
trader said,
&gt; &#8220;Bull markets make ATHs all the time. It is the definition of a bull market. 
&gt; On track maybe for top of $125,000 to $150,000 by end of August????&#8221;
In comparison, technical analyst Gert van Lagen set a much higher price level 
between $300,000 and $320,000. In a recent X post, Gert van Lagen pointed to 
Bitcoin&#8217;s breakout from a 4-year bullish Megaphone Pattern, marked by 
diverging trendlines with higher highs and lower lows, signaling a potential 
sharp uptrend after breaking the upper resistance.

Using Elliott Wave Theory, the analyst noted that BTC is in the final Wave 5 
of an impulse cycle, supporting the bullish case for another 170% to 190% 
Bitcoin rally.
While the markets edge toward euphoria, Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson recommended 
caution and patience for investors. The analyst noted that BTC heatmaps reveal 
price movement toward high-leverage zones, suggesting market makers may target 
overconfident traders for liquidations.
Wedson emphasized that public obsession over new all-time highs could create 
traps for both bulls and bears. Thus, it is imperative to &#8220;always manage your 
risk.&#8221;

Bitcoin price hit a new all-time high and data shows BTC bulls aren’t done yet

Despite price pullbacks and recent market volatility, a crypto analyst has 
predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) may still have room for another parabolic rally. 
The analyst cited historically reliable top indicators that suggest that the 
market has not reached its top yet, even as parabolic signals fail to trigger 
a surge. No Sign Of A Bitcoin Cycle Top — Yet In a recent post on X (formerly 
Twitter), market expert Crypto Con shared a comprehensive technical analysis 
rooted in the well-regarded top Bitcoin cycle indicators developed by DA_Prof. 
The accompanying chart revealed that Bitcoin’s current market trajectory has 
yet to reach the “cycle top” zone — a region that has consistently coincided 
with major market peaks in the past. Related Reading: Road To $320,000: 
Bitcoin Enters Trend Continuation, But $109,400 Must Hold Da Prof’s technical 
indicator model synthesizes insights from thirteen time-tested on-chain and 
market metrics. This multifactor approach has successfully predicted past 
cycle tops in 2013, 2017, and 2021, making it a valuable tool in potentially 
identifying long-term market turning points. According to Crypto Con, 
Bitcoin’s current price action and technical readings suggest that the 
flagship cryptocurrency may still be preparing for a final ATH rally. The 
analyst asserts that any potential cycle peak in 2025 will likely emerge only 
when Bitcoin enters a critical zone identified through the convergence of 
these thirteen advanced indicators. The metrics utilized in Da Prof’s 
indicator model include: Coin Value Days Destroyed (CVDD) Extension Net 
Unrealized Profit-Loss (NUPL) Market Value-Realized Value Z-score (MVRVZ) 
Calendar Seasonality (CSI: top near November 21) Puell Multiple (PUELL) 
Halving Seasonality (HSI: top near 538 days after halving event) Logue PolyLog 
Regression (PLR) Realized Price (RP) Extension Plus Directional Movement (PDM) 
Logarithmic MACD (LMACD) Pi Cycle Top (PCT) Transaction Fee Spike (TFS) Risk 
Crypto Con noted that historically, when these indicators converged in the 
red-hot region, represented by the cluster of indicators in the lower heatmap 
section of the chart, the Bitcoin price experienced a dramatic peak followed 
by a significant crash. However, in the current cycle, none of Da Prof’s 
metrics have entered the zone. Instead, the readings across the lower bands of 
the model remain comparatively muted, suggesting that market euphoria has not 
yet reached past-cycle extremes. Parabola Signals Flash Early, But No Peak In 
Sight While Da Prof’s top Bitcoin indicators remain elusive, Parabola signals, 
another key feature of Crypto Con’s analysis, have flashed not once but three 
times in this cycle. These signals are historically linked with the early 
stages of Bitcoin’s explosive price rallies experienced during the previous 
bull markets. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Price Turning Bullish Or Bearish? 
Crypto Analyst Reveals Critical Levels To Watch Yet despite these alerts, 
Bitcoin has failed to enter a true parabolic breakout phase so far in 2025. 
Crypto Con has indicated that the May 2025 parabola signal is especially 
notable, as it coincides with Bitcoin crossing the indicator’s Parabolic 
Boundary. This breach, paired with the absence of Da Prof’s indicator stack, 
creates an unusual setup. Emphasizing this anomaly, Crypto Con posed a 
rhetorical question: “No cycle top + parabola signal = ?” —- hinting that 
Bitcoin’s true bullish climax may still be ahead. Featured image from Adobe
