Bitcoin’s Bullish Trajectory: A Market Shift
This week, Bitcoin’s value has surpassed $107,000, marking a notable increase following a favorable trading stretch where the leading cryptocurrency ascended by 4.89%. This upward movement signifies a 1.06% rise in the monthly overview, indicating a potential shift in market dynamics favoring the bulls, following a period of declining consolidation.

Renowned market analyst, known by the pseudonym Merlijn The Trader, supports this emerging bullish trend, having identified a bull flag pattern on the Bitcoin daily chart, along with a positive MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) crossover.
Understanding the Bull Flag Pattern and Its Implications for Bitcoin
The bull flag is a distinguished bullish continuation pattern, suggesting that the price rally could continue despite current consolidation phases. As illustrated in Merlijn’s chart, this pattern starts with a significant price surge—or the flagpole—which was observed when Bitcoin initiated its upward trend in early April, with prices climbing sharply from around $74,000 to over $110,000 by late May.
Following the flagpole, the flag or pennant emerges, representing a temporary phase of price consolidation that forms a downward or sideways-sloping channel. This movement has been evident since Bitcoin’s new peak on May 22, with prices mostly consolidating within a descending channel between $101,000 and $110,000. The flag is typically viewed as a brief cooling-off interval before the primary trend’s momentum resumes.
Recent candlestick patterns indicate a breakout from the bull flag’s upper boundary, suggesting that the uptrend might soon continue. According to Merlijn’s analysis, if the breakout is confirmed with a decisive close, the projected movement for the new price rally, typically akin to the length of the initial flagpole, points towards a target of $144,000—a potential 34% increase from current market prices.
Supporting this optimistic outlook, the market analyst has also noted a recent crossover on the MACD indicator. Notably, the MACD line (blue) has crossed above the signal line (orange) from below, a scenario often interpreted as a buy signal by traders. This represents the first positive crossover in June and occurs as Bitcoin tests the upper boundary of the bull flag.
With both price action and technical indicators suggesting an imminent breakout, Merlijn encourages investors to anticipate this rally or risk experiencing FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) once the movement fully unfolds. Nonetheless, all market participants are urged to conduct thorough research before making investment choices.
