Analyst Yashu Gola from Cointelegraph forecasts that Bitcoin could hit $80,000 in March, driven by key technical indicators.
Breakout Signals Positive Momentum
On March 4, Bitcoin's price surpassed $71,000, breaking through a bearish pennant pattern with significant trading volume. This breakout suggests a positive trend, with a symmetrical triangle formation indicating a potential target of $80,000, aligning with the 100-day moving average.
The immediate resistance level is set at the 50-day EMA, which stands at $74,400. Should buyers fail to maintain this price, a correction could bring Bitcoin down to around $68,700, the 20-day EMA.
Unclosed Gap on CME Futures
The $80,000 target is further supported by an unclosed gap on the CME futures exchange, created in early February between $79,660 and $81,210 due to a trading suspension. Historical data shows that Bitcoin has closed nine out of the last ten gaps, making this area a key focus for traders.
Shifts in Market Sentiment
On the prediction platform Polymarket, the likelihood of Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in March has surged from 20% to 39% within a day. Additionally, the probability of the asset hitting $75,000 has increased from 40% to 67%, while bets on declines to $65,000 and $60,000 have decreased.
On March 3, Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, remarked that recent U.S. military actions in Iran have positioned cryptocurrencies as a leading global trading platform.
