Bitcoin is showing signs of recovery after high swings. It dropped 30% since January's high point. Now, it seems to be finding its footing. Several things hint that Bitcoin could hit $90,000 soon.
Bitcoin has traded below $86,000 for weeks. It struggled to reach its recent highs because of global worries. But, the market for Bitcoin contracts shows no fear. The futures base rate is stable at 5%. This rate measures the cost of monthly contracts. It was 8% two weeks ago. The current level is normal. This means investors are not rushing to sell.
Other signs point to careful hope. The long-to-short ratio on OKX is 18:1. This means more people are betting on Bitcoin going up. This ratio is lower than past high points, but not very low. The S&P 500 could also affect Bitcoin. If stocks go up after their recent drop, Bitcoin could rise to $90,000.
Whales, or big Bitcoin holders, are buying more Bitcoin. Santiment data shows addresses with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC added 20,000 BTC in one day. This suggests big investors have faith in Bitcoin. In the past, this kind of buying has led to quick price jumps.
Bitcoin is forming a rising triangle on charts. This pattern often means the price will go up. It has a flat top line and a rising bottom line. Bitcoin is trying to break above $84,000 now. But, this needs more trading activity to be sure. If trading does not increase, the breakout could fail. Then, Bitcoin might stay at the same level for a while.
Bitcoin is at a key moment. If it breaks out of the triangle and whales keep buying, $90,000 is possible. Yet, problems remain. Stock market changes, central bank actions, and Bitcoin ETF flows matter a lot.
The next few weeks will show if this happens. If the economy gets better and big investors keep buying, Bitcoin could go up again. If not, Bitcoin might stay still for many months.
