The Bitcoin price has experienced a lull in recent days, falling to approximately $65,500 by the morning of Saturday, October 26. While the leading cryptocurrency hasn’t particularly excelled in the typically bullish month of October, the upcoming days may be crucial for determining the coin’s future direction.
With apparent support established in the $65,000 range, the BTC price seems poised for an upward movement, possibly resuming its bull cycle. A well-known crypto analyst on the social media platform X has outlined a potential path for the market leader to achieve a new all-time high.
Is a BTC Price of $78,000 Achievable Before 2025?
In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has projected a new optimistic forecast for Bitcoin’s price as October comes to a close. According to the analyst, the flagship cryptocurrency could see a rally that pushes it beyond its current record of $78,000 before the end of 2024.
This optimistic prediction is rooted in the formation of a descending channel pattern on the daily Bitcoin price chart. In technical analysis, a descending channel consists of two primary trendlines; the upper line indicates resistance, while the lower line indicates support.
As illustrated in the highlighted chart, prices generally fluctuate within this descending channel over time. This technical pattern can indicate the continuation of a downward trend. Based on price action data, BTC has remained within this descending channel since March 2024.
However, a breakout from this channel can indicate either a reversal or a confirmation of an ongoing market trend. An upward breakout through the upper trendline implies a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend, while a downward breakout through the lower trendline suggests a continuation of the trend.
Bitcoin’s price has successfully broken above and retested the upper trendline of its current channel, signaling a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend. Martinez pointed out in his post that after BTC’s unsuccessful attempt to break the $65,000 support, investors might witness Bitcoin’s value rise to $72,000 before a slight correction to $69,000.
Ultimately, the crypto analyst believes this brief pullback will be followed by a 16% surge to the $78,000 mark for the BTC price. Notably, the timeline for this positive projection aligns with the historically bullish fourth-quarter period.
