Bitcoin

<div class="finbold">
 <p class="paragraph">As the cryptocurrency sector opens the week on a more bullish note, its representative asset Bitcoin (BTC) has surpassed a critical resistance level and is looking at an imminent breakout that could culminate with an $85,000 price peak, according to a renowned crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="expert" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/expert.html">expert</a>.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Specifically, professional crypto trader Ali Martinez has recently observed that Bitcoin appeared to be breaking out of its symmetrical triangle chart pattern and that holding above $70,8000 would make $85,000 its next <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="target" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/target.html">target</a>, as he explained in an X post on April 8.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Indeed, as Martinez’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Category Analysis" href="https://thebittimes.com/analysis.html">Analysis</a> demonstrates, the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset’s apparent <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="coming" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/coming.html">coming</a> out of this pattern at the above crucial resistance point suggests it is moving in an uptrend and that further price increases will ensue, perhaps even to a new all-time high (ATH).</p>

 <p class="paragraph">All things considered, Bitcoin could, indeed, meet the analyst’s optimistic expectations and hit the $85,000 price <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="target" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/target.html">target</a> soon, particularly against the backdrop of the up<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="coming" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/coming.html">coming</a> BTC halving date on April 17, which could help its looming price rally.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">That said, the gains that should follow the Bitcoin halving date will probably be lower in comparison to its advances after previous halving events, as the percentage increase post-halving has diminished over time, so doing one’s own research is critical before investing.</p>
