Data from <a href="https://subscription.cointelegraph.com/?_gl=1*7499wx*_ga*MTQ0MzQ0NzI4Ny4xNzE2MzY1NTA0*_ga_53R24TEEB1*MTcxNjM2NTUwNC4xLjEuMTcxNjM2Njg2MC4wLjAuMA..">Cointelegraph Markets Pro</a> and <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BINANCE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TradingView</a> confirmed Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>)&nbsp;price highs of $67,963 on Bitstamp.
BTC price action shrugged off mixed United States inflation data to preserve gains throughout the Asia trading session.
This came in the form of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index and showed spending surpassing expectations, joining strong unemployment data from the day prior.

Despite this, Bitcoin joined US stocks in heading higher, with BTC/USD up nearly 7% versus the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-price-inches-up-us-stocks-bitcoin-bulls-65k">prior day’s lows</a> at the time of writing.
With low-timeframe price action remaining rangebound, traders zoomed out to conclude that the overall picture favored Bitcoin bulls.
“Bitcoin has formed a massive descending broadening wedge, right around the previous cycle highs!” popular trader Jelle <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1816806422195167300" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> in one of his latest X posts.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Price looks eager for a breakout -- and once it does, I expect the move to be sharp. First target: $85,000.”

<a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1816833852868092222" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Another chart</a> saw Jelle projecting a $74,000 BTC price target based on liquidity across exchange order books.
For fellow trader CrypNuevo, the key target was $68,900 — the area immediately below a psychologically significant price level corresponding to Bitcoin’s old all-time highs from 2021.

“The liquidations at $68.9k have increased a lot this week. We can confirm what we anticipated on Sunday: This week’s drop was just a shakeout and a run for liquidity to gather even more liquidations at $68.9k area. We’re going there,” he <a href="https://x.com/CrypNuevo/status/1816783777558884764" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">added</a> in a further X post that featured liquidation data from monitoring resource CoinGlass.
