What's Driving Bitcoin Price Rise Today?

Reading time: 2 minutes

Bitcoin price is once again showing promising signs that could point to an impressive rise. Analysts predict that the cryptocurrency could possibly reach new all-time highs, with an expected rally to between $130.000 and $160.000.

Recognizing Bullish Signals in Bitcoin Price

The attention of investors in the crypto market is again focused on Bitcoin, as the digital currency is showing strong bullish signals. These signals, which have often led to significant price increases in the past, have convinced analysts that Bitcoin has the chance to match historical trends and reach new all-time highs.

Bollinger Bands Indications

A deeper analysis of Bitcoin's weekly chart, presented by Bitcoinsensus on X (formerly Twitter), reveals a crucial pattern that has occurred only four times since 2022. Each time this occurred, Bitcoin's price went up dramatically, making this setup an unquestionably bullish one.

The signal in question comes from Bollinger Bands, a tool that can identify potential turning points in price action. Bitcoin recently touched the lower Bollinger Band and then rallied back up, confirming that strong support has formed. Historically, this has often led to sustained bullish momentum.

This marks the fifth time this particular signal has appeared during this cycle. The previous four signals, marked by white circles on the chart, were always accompanied by strong price rallies.

For example, in early 2023, Bitcoin surged from below $20.000 to above $30.000 after this signal appeared. A similar pattern occurred in mid-2023, when the price was pushed above $45.000. Later that year, it ended with an explosion above $60.000, and in the early months of 2024, the signal led to a parabolic rise above $100.000.

Now, in the second quarter of 2025, Bitcoin is once again showing this historically reliable signal. The price has found strong support around $77.500, with resistance levels above $106.000. With the Bollinger Bands aligning, Bitcoinsensus expects a potential rally towards $130.000 to $160.000. This would be an all-time high for Bitcoin, with a maximum increase of over 46,7% from the current record high above $109.000.

Bitcoin Prepares for a Breakout

Notably, Bitcoin price is once again approaching $100.000 after a recent 4,75% surge over the past week. As the price recovers, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade predicts that Bitcoin will soon break through bearish resistance and scale new highs.

The analyst shared a chart showing a recurring breakout pattern that has historically often preceded large price increases after a breakout from a descending resistance line. This pattern has occurred three times before: from late 2022 to early 2023, from mid-2023 to early 2024, and from late 2024 to early 2025.

In the current situation, Bitcoin is once again testing the resistance of this descending trendline and seems to be breaking through it. If history repeats itself, the analyst projects a possible target zone between $100.000 and $136.000, which would mean a new all-time high.
