Crypto markets moving towards new highs soon? Experts say…

Walke noted that Bitcoin recently formed an inverted Head and Shoulders pattern on the hourly timeframe, which is “a bullish technical setup”.

“Based on the pattern’s projection, Bitcoin could target levels around $111,000. On the institutional side, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $386.2 million, while Ethereum ETFs attracted $53 million, indicating growing investor interest in both assets,” he added.

CoinSwitch’s opinion was that a decisive break above $110k or below $100k will be needed to sustain momentum. And CoinDCX research team noted that “investor’s sentiments are slowly turning into ‘greed’ after a brief consolidation”.

Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO of Mudrex noted, “the crypto market saw a strong rally, amid easing geopolitical tensions. The US and China resuming trade negotiations led to a positive investor sentiment, with the rally extending to Ethereum, Solana, and other altcoins.”

“Meanwhile, about $38 million in short positions were liquidated, reducing downside pressure. If the momentum sustains, Bitcoin could attempt a new all-time high soon, with support standing at $105,600,” he added.
