 Bitcoin is attempting to ditch the past week's trading range, but longer timeframes reveal the potential for much more BTC price upside, predictions show.

 Bitcoin (BTC) has jumped to new 18-month highs — but holding its latest support is now key to avoid a “breakdown.”

 <h2 id="35-000-decides-bitcoin-range-breakout-validity">$35,000 decides Bitcoin range breakout validity</h2>
 Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows BTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> gains continuing into Nov. 2.
 BTC/USD hit $35,968 on Bitstamp after the daily close — its highest levels since May 2022 and beating last month’s local peak.
 Now returning to test the mettle of $35,000 as support, Bitcoin is on the radar of market participants, some of whom are not discounting the possibility of a new BTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> dip.
 In his latest update, popular analyst Mark Cullen suggested that $35,000 was the significant line in the sand to defend.
 “Now the Bitcoin range has broken, its a little simpler. Either hold and push on up or <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="break" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/break.html">break</a> down and we likely lose the major $BTC uptrend in the short term,” he wrote on X, referring to the past week’s comparatively sideways trading landscape.
 Cullen added that Bitcoin would need to close a 4-hour candle below the $35,000 mark to flip the mood.
 “No reason to e bearish until BTC close an H4 back below 35k. A dip back to test is fine &amp; likely a #BTFD opportunity,” he said.

 Also eyeing the low-timeframe range is <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="trader" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trader.html">trader</a> and analyst Credible Crypto.
 Like Cullen, he predicted a return lower before upside continued, trapping both late longs and shorts in the process and adding to liquidations.

 There is our breakout Something like this to wipe out some late longers real quick would not surprise me. Quick dump down into demand, late longers flushed + fresh bears pile in into demand, higher low printed, run it back up into the real pump. $BTC https://t.co/uitgSD3nV0 pic.twitter.com/QZAaYEHb28— CrediBULL Crypto (@CredibleCrypto) November 2, 2023

 On the day, he placed a zone around $34,600 as an “ideal downside <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="target" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/target.html">target</a>.”
 “Shorts shorting into support with bids stacked waiting is usually a recipe for price to squeeze/revert back to the upside,” part of X commentary read.

 <h2 id="48-000-btc-price-post-halving">$48,000 BTC price post-halving?</h2>
 As Cointelegraph reported, bearish BTC price predictions remained even as Bitcoin reclaimed and held $34,000 over the past week.

 $20,000 was a popular choice, this strongly contrasting with the popular bullish consensus level of $40,000, which others say is only a matter of time.
 For popular trader Jelle, however, the outlook calls for BTC/USD to go even higher.
 Analyzing longer timeframes, Jelle spied a breakout which suggests a target closer to $50,000.
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 This #Bitcoin bullish megaphone pattern has a target of +/- $48,000. It broke out last week. Let's roll. pic.twitter.com/xauSPxbr5d— Jelle (@CryptoJelleNL) November 2, 2023
 </blockquote>
 In part of the day’s analysis, he acknowledged that reaching target could take “some time.”
 “We're seeing a strong start to Q4 as expected, but I do expect momentum to slowly fade in about 2-3 weeks,” he reasoned.
 <blockquote>
 “The fight to break $48k may take some time — bull market really gets moving after the halving.”
