Notably, traditional analysts see bull pennants as bullish continuation patterns that could increase prices as much as the previous uptrend’s height. This breakout typically accompanies an increase in trading volume.


Bitcoin’s chances of a breakout are currently considerable as price consolidates, particularly after new all-time highs this week, and other reasons discussed below. Thus, the next target could be around $92,500 in the coming weeks, up 35% from the current levels.Increasing Bitcoin ETF inflows


Bitcoin"s price uptrend in recent weeks has coincided with the increasing capital inflows into the U.S.-based exchange-traded funds (ETF). Notably, these ETFs hold over $53 billion in their reserves as of March 7, compared to $27.95 billion at their launch in January.U.S. Bitcoin ETF balance.

Higher inflows into an ETF suggest that more investors are buying shares of the ETF, which, in turn, increases demand for the underlying assets. This is because the fund manager may need to purchase additional assets to ensure the ETF accurately reflects the index composition or sector it tracks.


“It appears that the Bitcoin Spot ETF approval launched an accumulation that, if sustained, puts BTC at $100K by October 2024,” market analyst Timothy Peterson commented on X.

Moreover, the increasing ETF inflows come weeks ahead of the Bitcoin halving. Historically, halving events have been associated with increases in the price before (and after) the mining reward is cut in half.  2020 Bitcoin fractal hints at more gains ahead

These similar drawdowns around all-time high prices suggest that the next leg up might be just around the corner like during the last bull cycle, albeit with some differences. 


"Bitcoin is acting similar to 2020"s all-time high breakout," Jelle argues on X, adding:"A failed breakout with sharp correction, then some consolidation, and a successful breakout higher."


Should history repeat with a successful breakout higher, BTC price will be targeting prices north of $75,000.
