Another analyst who goes by the name Jelle notes that Bitcoin has recently reached key support levels such as the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the bottom of an ascending triangle pattern.
Jelle believes that a rebound from these levels could push Bitcoin to $72,000 soon, paving the way for a potential surge to $100,000 in the long term. These predictions are consistent with a broader bullish view, as many believe Bitcoin’s current price represents a good buying opportunity.
More bullish signs on the horizon
Bitcoin’s recent price movement isn’t just attracting individual investors. More large institutional investors are showing interest, indicating growing confidence in Bitcoin’s value. Major investments from public figures and companies indicate broader acceptance and integration of Bitcoin into the mainstream financial world.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price forecast for July is bullish, indicating a potential increase of 30% to more than $85,000, according to crypto price tracker CoinCodex. This is despite the fact that current technical indicators are bearish. This indicates a possible discrepancy between market sentiment and price action.
The Fear & Greed Index of 60 further emphasizes this dissonance. Although the price has seen almost half of bullish days (47%) over the past month with relatively low volatility (2.29%), the underlying technical data may indicate a different story. It will be interesting to see if the predicted price increase materializes or if the bearish undercurrents prevail.
Investors are closely watching Bitcoin’s price movements, looking for opportunities that could signal new highs. While the path to $100,000 is fraught with uncertainty, strategic insights from market veterans and increasing institutional interest provide a solid foundation for Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
