FOMO

Cryptocurrency investors have been forced to endure another round of sideways trading after the hype surrounding the approval of <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/why-is-ethereum-price-going-up-eth-soars-to-3900-as-etf-hype-escalates/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum ETFs</a> cooled. The hope for a major breakout above $70,000 and to new record highs slowly faded last week as BTC corrected below $66,400. Nevertheless, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price forecast</a> reveals a strong technical structure—one that could propel the bellwether cryptocurrency above $70,000.

The futures market often gives a sneak peek into the outlook of Bitcoin. As open interest increases, it shows that investors are willing to bet on higher prices.
<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">Coinglass</a> data reveals that the Bitcoin futures open interest is on a strong rise to $33 billion. This increase started in early May, as Bitcoin price rebounded from the fall in April to $56,500.
Should the surge continue, more investors will find Bitcoin attractive. The potential breakout above $70,000 could also ignite FOMO, boosting the momentum in the market to sustain the uptrend.

A strong fundamental structure according to on-chain data from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://app.intotheblock.com/coin/BTC/deep-dive?group=financials&amp;chart=inAndOut">IntoTheBlock</a> (ITB) backs a bullish outlook. Robust support levels as seen in the IOMAP model signal that investors are willing to hold onto their positions for more gains. The narrowing resistance zones are another sign that Bitcoin price is on the cusp of a breakout.

<h2 class="p1" id="bitcoin-price-forecast-nurturing-the-uptrend">Bitcoin Price Forecast: Nurturing The Uptrend</h2>
Recovery is ongoing, with <a href="https://coingape.com/microstrategy-ceo-michael-saylor-celebrates-bitcoin-etf-reserve-surpassing-1m-btc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> sitting above $69,000 during US business hours on Monday. The path of least resistance has been confirmed to be upward based on the four-hour Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
An incoming buy signal will make <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/crypto-market-analysis-btc-69k-altcoins-amid-etf-uncertainties/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> more attractive this week. Moreover, reclaiming support above $70,000 may ignite FOMO as investors shift their attention to new record highs and the next major milestone at $80,000.
Apart from the hurdle at $70,000, other resistance areas traders must keep an eye on are $72,000 and the all-time high near $74,000.

Traders must plan accordingly keeping in mind that another rejection is likely at $70,000. If this happens, some people will choose to sell, thus destabilizing the market further and resulting in losses.
Key support levels include the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $68,250, the upper ascending trendline, and the $66,000 level. Should declines intensify due to panic selling, <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/crypto-market-prediction-will-bitcoin-hit-high-may-end/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> may be forced to drop to the lower trend line, which currently coincides with the 200-day EMA.
A correction to $60,000 cannot also be ruled out considering that the crypto market is very volatile.
