Bitcoin Breaks $85k Barrier: Will BTC Price Hit $91k?

Bitcoin at $85,631 records an intraday recovery of 1.24%. This marks a bullish continuation after a price surge of 1% on Monday. 

This week, Bitcoin has created two consecutive bullish candles, surpassing the 200-day EMA line at $85,000. With this new recovery rally, is Bitcoin heading towards the $87,000 level breakout? Let’s find out.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis

In the daily chart, the BTC price trend has surpassed the local resistance trendline. Furthermore, the V-shaped recovery in Bitcoin starting from the $76,000 mark has concluded the long pullback phase. 

Currently, the trendline breakout rally in Bitcoin is facing opposition from the 50-day EMA at $85,500. The bullish struggle continues as buyers struggle for an extended rally to avoid the death cross between the 50- and 200-day EMA lines. 

Currently, the BTC holds the ground at the 23.60% Fibonacci level near the $83,000 mark. Furthermore, the pullback of nearly 2% on Sunday, followed by the bullish recovery, highlights a post-retest reversal from the $83,000 level. 

As the recovery trend gains momentum, the MACD and signal lines give a positive crossover. Additionally, the new wave of bullish histograms in the momentum indicator reflects a high possibility of a bullish extension. 

The uptrend is aiming to challenge the 100-day EMA close to the 38.20% Fibonacci level at $87,673. This stands as the immediate resistance in the Bitcoin price recovery. 

In case of a bullish breakout, the uptrend will likely scale to the 50% Fibonacci level near $91,201. On the flip side, the crucial support remains at the $83,000 mark, coinciding with the 20-day EMA line.

Institutional Support Resurfaces For Bitcoin

Days after the 90-day pause in the direct war, the U.S. institutional support is resurfacing for Bitcoin. On April 14, the daily total net inflow of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs stood at $1.47 million, while most of the ETFs remained on the sidelines. 

With a net-zero flow, BlackRock and Fidelity witnessed diverging flows. BlackRock recorded an inflow of $36.72 million, while Fidelity recorded an outflow of $35.25 million. 

The seven-day streak of consecutive outflows ends in Bitcoin spot ETFs. Currently, the Bitcoin ETFs hold a net total of $94.69 billion.
