Just came across an interesting take from an analyst about Bitcoin's next all-time high. The framework he's using is pretty solid - basically saying BTC tends to hit new record highs within 12 months after major corrections, and shorter-term patterns show it bounces 30-60% off local lows within 3-6 months. Given where we are now, that puts potential for Bitcoin to test the $100K zone sometime in Q3 2026.
Looking at the current setup, Bitcoin's showing the right signals. We've got higher lows forming, price holding above key support, and volume drying up compared to the earlier selloff. The moving averages are starting to turn up too, which is the kind of thing you want to see. There's resistance in the mid-$80K range that Bitcoin's creeping toward, and if we can punch through that with some volume, $85K is in play.
Right now BTC is sitting around $80.3K, up about 2.4% on the week. As long as we stay above the $73-74K zone, bulls are in control. A break above $77.5-78K could open the door to $80K pretty quickly. The all-time high thesis doesn't look crazy if this structure holds up. Worth watching how Nasdaq moves too - Bitcoin tends to follow that lead.
