What’s Next For Bitcoin After Crossing $87,000? Expert Discusses Possible Outcomes

Source Newsbtc

This Sunday, the market’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has once again crossed the $87,000 mark, following what analysts describe as a healthy correction that brought prices down to $74,000 earlier this month. 

In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), crypto analyst Doctor Profit provided a comprehensive analysis of the current price action, outlining what investors can expect moving forward.

Expert Outlines Critical Price Levels For BTC

Doctor Profit opened his analysis by revisiting the two potential outcomes he had outlined a month prior. The first scenario involved a healthy correction to the $70,000 to $74,000 range, which played out exactly as anticipated. 

The second scenario was a more severe downturn, a “Black Swan” event, that could see Bitcoin dropping to the $50,000 to $60,000 range. Importantly, he identified a critical threshold—the “Golden Line”—currently situated at $77,000. 

This level has proven resilient since the bull run began in early 2023, and as long as Bitcoin remains above it, Doctor Profit believes the potential for a crash scenario is off the table.

The analyst noted that Bitcoin is currently facing challenges in breaking through the “Hammer Line,” a critical resistance level. Historically, whenever Bitcoin has approached this line, it has faced immediate rejection. However, with strong support at the Golden Line, Doctor Profit is prepared for two potential scenarios. 

Bitcoin Potential Breakout Scenarios

If Bitcoin can break above the Hammer Line, he plans to close his short position from $90,000 and maintain his spot position acquired at $77,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin dips back to the $77,000 level, he intends to purchase more, having already set limit orders to capitalize on this price point.

Looking ahead, Doctor Profit predicted that Bitcoin would likely continue to trade sideways within the range of the Hammer Line and Golden Line, specifically between $77,000 and $85,200. However, with Sunday’s spike, the Golden Line has been broken for the moment, pending a consolidation above it.

However, several bullish triggers remain on the horizon, including potential agreements between the US and China, possible Federal Reserve rate cuts, and an increase in M2 liquidity.

In the mid to long term, Doctor Profit believes Bitcoin is more likely to break out above the Hammer Line than to fall below the Golden Line. He cautioned against trading within the dangerous zone between these two critical levels, labeling it a “forbidden zone.” 

A breakout above the Hammer Line would signal the end of the correction and a renewed ascent toward new all-time highs, while a breakdown below the Golden Line could indicate a significant shift in market sentiment and the onset of a deeper correction.

While trading just above $87,200, BTC registers a nearly 4% surge in the weekly time frame.
