Bitcoin’s Bullish Indicators Suggest a Potential Breakout
Bitcoin has recently demonstrated rare bullish technical signals, including the weekly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Ichimoku crosses. These indicators may herald a significant breakout for the cryptocurrency. Historically, similar signals have led to impressive gains ranging from 100% to 195% during previous market rallies. If Bitcoin were to experience a surge of 100.73%, its price could skyrocket to $150,000, assuming the momentum persists.
Examining the Recent Bullish Crosses in Bitcoin
On April 14, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a bullish one-week MACD crossover, coinciding with a bullish Ichimoku cross. According to a May 5 post on TradingView by respected chart analyst TradingShot, these developments might indicate the beginning of a rally that could push Bitcoin’s price to $150,000.

This occurrence marks the first such event in seven months, the last being in mid-October 2024. The Ichimoku indicator is a comprehensive tool that evaluates trend direction, momentum, as well as support and resistance levels.
The Significance of Bullish Crosses
Since September 2022, each instance of these signals appearing simultaneously has triggered a bullish phase within a long-term upward channel pattern. These bullish phases consistently resulted in triple-digit percentage gains, with increases ranging from 100.73% in February 2023 to as high as 195.61% in late 2024.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s price has recently found stability and rebounded from the 50-period one-week moving average (MA), suggesting that another bullish phase might be imminent.
Historical Precedence of Bitcoin’s Bullish Crosses
As of May 5, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $94,600, experiencing a slight decline of 0.16% on the one-week chart. Despite this, Bitcoin reached a local high of $97,720 on May 2, before pulling back by 3.19%.
If Bitcoin follows the weakest bullish phase of the channel-up pattern, it could witness a 100.73% increase from the April 9 low. Should this occur, Bitcoin’s price could reach around $150,000, representing a significant 58.56% increase from current levels.
The Importance of the $100,000 Threshold
As Bitcoin consolidates within the $94,000 to $95,000 range, the $100,000 price level stands as a critical psychological and technical threshold. Surpassing this level could trigger large-scale short liquidations, potentially propelling Bitcoin to even greater heights. Such a breakout would not only signify a psychological victory but also lay the foundation for a more substantial upward move.
