The $23 million net inflow volume in Grayscale’s GBTC is commendable and could signal reducing selling pressure. Should fund inflows continue this week, Bitcoin price would build momentum for a breakout targeting $70,000.

What’s Next As Bitcoin Price Rises Above $63,000

Bitcoin price had extended the up leg above the $63,000 mark during US business hours on Monday. Hovering at $63,038, the largest cryptocurrency shows signs of a strengthening trend to close the gap to $70,000.

However, BTC needs to confirm support above $63,000 and probably close the day above this level to validate the uptrend.

Several indicators already back the bullish thesis to $70,000 starting with three applied Exponential Moving Average (EMAs) including the 20-day, the 50-day, and the 200-day.

The 50-day would be first in line to provide support at $62,324 in case BTC reverses below $63,000. Other key levels are the 20-day EMA at $60,088 and the 200-day EMA at $58,255.

Traders may continue to take advantage of the buy signal recently confirmed by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). As long as the blue MACD line holds above the red signal line as the indicator climbs, Bitcoin price prediction points to a sustainable uptrend, especially above the $64,000 immediate resistance level.

Breaking above $64,000 could rekindle FOMO among investors who may decide to buy more Bitcoin in anticipation of a breakout to new all-time highs. The potential bull run in 2024 and 2025 could bolster BTC above $100,000.
