Can Bitcoin Push Beyond $80K? Why This Trader Thinks 'It's Time'

Bitcoin's BTC/USD run to above $70,000 has traders bullish about price predictions of $80,000 and more finally becoming a reality.

What Happened: Popular crypto analyst Jelle shared his Bitcoin insights in a series of tweets, stating that Bitcoin is mirroring its 2017 bull market pattern and is poised for significant growth. Bitcoin has broken through all resistance levels except for its all-time highs.

Jelle writes, "And just like in 2017, the trains are starting to leave the station after ±100 days of chop. Right on queue. It’s time for expansion. Higher.”

He further elaborated that Bitcoin has been consolidating below $72,000 for 100 days, building pressure for a breakout. He predicts that once Bitcoin surpasses this level, it will likely reach around $86,000. "Looks ready for another push. Let's see," he added.

Coinglass data shows Bitcoin long liquidations at multi-week lows, while open interest is at its highest since April 1.
