Bitcoin (BTC) posted modest gains earlier today, trading above $87,000 for the first time since April 1. Crypto analysts now suggest that BTC may be on the verge of a sustained rally, as several key indicators are flashing bullish signals.

Bitcoin Rally Ahead? These Indicators Say Yes

According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post published today, BTC is showing multiple short-term bullish signals, fuelling optimism that a breakout above $90,000 could be imminent.

In their analysis, CryptoQuant contributor EgyHash highlighted two key indicators that hint at bullish reversal for the apex cryptocurrency. First, the contributor outlined BTC’s Exchange Inflow metric.

EgyHash noted that exchange inflows – the amount of BTC being deposited into exchanges – have dropped significantly in recent months. Since peaking at 120,000 in November 2024, the metric has seen a sharp decline, suggesting that holders are choosing not to move their BTC to exchanges, thereby potentially reducing sell pressure.

The chart below shows a consistent drop in exchange inflows since November 2024, despite BTC’s price gains in December 2024 and January 2025. As of now, exchange inflows sit around 9,300.

In addition, EgyHash pointed out that Bitcoin’s open interest has surged by $6 billion over the past two weeks. This rise has been accompanied by a positive shift in funding rates, signalling a bullish market outlook.

To explain, a rise in open interest shows that more money is flowing into BTC futures or perpetual contracts, indicating increased trader participation and confidence. Similarly, positive funding rates suggest that long positions – bets on BTC price going up – are dominant, and traders are willing to pay a premium to hold these positions.

That said, there is some caution to be considered here. If the BTC derivatives market becomes too leveraged, then it may increase the risk of a sharp price correction due to mass liquidations. 

BTC Breaks Multi-Month Downtrend

In a separate X post, crypto analyst Rekt Capital brought attention to BTC breaking out of a falling wedge pattern on the daily chart. Typically, a breakout from the falling wedge pattern indicates a bullish reversal, hinting that the asset’s price may rise after a period of downward consolidation.

Simultaneously, BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the 60 level, indicating renewed buying strength. That said, if RSI nears 60 but fails to push higher, it could also point to weakening momentum and a potential bull trap.

Further, BTC’s futures sentiment index is showing signs of warning as the metric has been on a prolonged decline since February 2025. At press time, BTC trades at $87,386, up 3.4% in the past 24 hours.
