Bitcoin builds pressure with bullish patterns as ETFs fuel breakout hopes

Bitcoin is flashing strong technical signals, forming both a cup-and-handle and a bullish flag pattern that suggest a potential surge to new all-time highs.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been stuck at the significant resistance level of $107,000 for the past three days. It has jumped by nearly 10% from its lowest point this week.

What’s fueling the latest rally?

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $2.2 billion in inflows this week alone—the third consecutive week of net additions. According to SoSoValue data, which represents a substantial increase from the $1.02 billion Wall Street investors accumulated last week.

These ETFs have had net inflows of $4.5 billion this month, down from $5.2 billion in May and $2.9 billion in April. They have had cumulative inflows of $48.87 billion, meaning that the figure could cross the $50 billion milestone in July.

With supply on exchanges at its lowest since 2017, market momentum appears to favor the bulls, setting the stage for a possible breakout above the $111,900 peak.

BlackRock’s IBIT leads the charge. The ETF added over $52 billion in assets. It now holds $74.5 billion, making it one of the biggest ETFs in the U.S. Fidelity’s FBTC has $12 billion in inflows and now has $21.5 billion in assets.

The soaring Bitcoin demand is happening at a time when the supply on exchanges has continued falling. Santiment data shows that there are 1.21 million coins on exchanges, its lowest level since December 2017.

The daily chart indicates that Bitcoin has rebounded over the past few days, rising from a low of $98,253 to $107,400. It remains above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, a sign that bulls are in control.

Bitcoin has formed a bullish flag pattern, one of the most positive signs in technical analysis. This pattern comprises a vertical line and a descending channel, which is part of the flag. 

It has also formed a cup-and-handle pattern, consisting of a rounded bottom and a descending channel. This channel is part of the bullish flag.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that it rebounds and possibly reaches its all-time high of $111,900. A move above that level will indicate further upside, potentially reaching the psychological point at $115,000.
