After an unexpected bearish plot twist in the past week, the Bitcoin price action has been pretty quiet over the weekend, with BTC barely holding above the $94,000 level. The premier cryptocurrency briefly slipped beneath this price mark on Saturday, January 11, before traveling to as high as $94,870.


Interestingly, a top analyst on the social media platform X has put forward an interesting analysis of the Bitcoin price, suggesting that the market leader might be at a pivotal juncture. Could a bullish breakout be on the cards for the price of BTC or is a deep correction the more likely scenario? Bitcoin’s Performance In The Next Few Weeks


In a recent post on X, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez weighed in on the trajectory of the Bitcoin price over the next few weeks. According to the market pundit, the flagship cryptocurrency is currently set up such that it could see a move higher to $140,000 or a pullback to around $67,000.

These projections are based on the formation of two patterns, namely the head-and-shoulders and the bull pennant, on the BTC 12-hour price chart. The pennant pattern is marked by a price upswing (the flagpole) followed by a consolidation range with converging trend lines (the pennant), while the head-and-shoulders formation (as the name suggests) is characterized by three distinct price highs, including a higher “head” between two lower “shoulders.”


The pennant chart formation often serves as a bullish continuation pattern, suggesting the persistence of an upward price trend. The head-and-shoulders pattern, on the other hand, typically indicates a potential bearish reversal, signaling a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend. Source: Ali_charts/X


As seen in the chart above, the Bitcoin price is yet to break beneath the neckline of the head-and-shoulders pattern, which often serves as confirmation for the trend reversal. If the premier cryptocurrency breaks the neckline situated at around $93,000, its price could plunge to as low as $67,000.


However, Martinez pointed out that the next target could be higher if the Bitcoin price holds above the neckline and breaks out of the bull pennant pattern. If this occurs, a bullish surge to around $140,000 could be on the cards for the price of the market leader. This would represent an almost 50% rally from the current price point.
