Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Michael Van de Poppe reports that Bitcoin has been performing well, currently approaching the first resistance. "Expecting consolidation to continue, one more test of ATH pre-halving and then were finalizing this run for Bitcoin. Altcoins to do well!"
Pseudonymous analyst Dave the Wave saidBitcoins price trajectory from 2020 suggests that the cryptocurrency could reach $160,000 before May and keep rising.
"A BTC $160,000 target, should we see a continued parabolic run, is actually quite conservative on this comparison."
According to on-chain analyst Ali Martinez, it seems like Bitcoin is breaking out of an ascending triangle on the lower time frames. "which could see $BTC rise toward $71,800 as long as the $70,400 support holds."
