Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered 25% from its multi-year low below $60,000, with momentum indicators flashing rare “buy” signals. Key takeaways: Bitcoin’s MACD and RSI indicators forecast a sharp BTC price rally in the coming days. Bitcoin price must reclaim $78,000 in the coming days to sustain upward momentum. Bitcoin’s MACD, RSI confirm “bull market is on” Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD trading at $75,300, 4% below its 10-week high of $78,380 reached on Friday. Despite this pullback, fueled by uncertainties over the US and Israel-Iran war, price indicators hinted at continued upside to come. Analyzing the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator in the weekly time frame, trader Sykodelic flagged a key bullish crossover, setting Bitcoin up for an upward run.

This ultimately led to 340%-380% BTC price gains, as seen in 2018-2019 and 2022-2023. “A big move usually follows whenever this weekly MACD bullish cross happens,” analyst Mikybull Crypto said in a recent post on X. Meanwhile, the relative strength index, or RSI, has now recovered to 43 from 21 in mid-February. When combined with a buy signal on the MACD, the picture begins to resemble previous cycles. In a recent video posted on X, trading resource Material Indicators said that the weekly RSI holding above the 41 level was among the “macro things that need to happen to say a validated bull market is on.” Previous occurrences in 2023, 2020 and 2019 have led to 660%, 1,600% and 316% BTC price rallies, respectively. Other Bitcoin analysts suggest that sustained spot market buy volume and consistent inflows to the Bitcoin ETFs are the necessary components required for a rally to new highs. Bitcoin must reclaim $78,000 next As Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin’s bullish case hinges on flipping the resistance at $78,000 into support, where the true market mean currently sits. Analyzing Bitcoin’s price action on lower time frames, Telegram trading resource Technical Crypto Analyst said that after reclaiming the $70,000 level, the BTC/USD pair is “now pushing into a major supply zone around 75K–78K, which is acting as resistance,” adding: “A clean breakout above this zone could continue the move toward new highs, while rejection may lead to a pullback toward the 68K–70K support region.” Fellow analyst Bitcoinsensus said failure to break above $78,000 would suggest that the latest rally was a “possible bull trap,” as seen in previous failed breakouts. “If price loses momentum from here, the setup keeps downside pressure in focus in the near term.” As Cointelegraph reported, a close above the $76,000-$78,000 area would confirm that the buyers are in control, clearing the path for a potential rally to $84,000.
