Analysis: Bitcoin Surges Over 40% This Quarter, Outperforming Gold; "Double Bottom Breakout" Could Open Path to $100,000

Odaily News: Bitcoin (BTC) has gained over 40% this quarter, outperforming major assets including gold and the S&P 500. On Monday, gold prices fell nearly 4%, pressured by long-term U.S. Treasury yields rising to their highest level since 2007 and a strengthening dollar index; during the same period, BTC briefly dropped to around $82,500 before rebounding to near $84,000, a decline of approximately 1%.

Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro Research at Fidelity Investments, said that BTC breaking above $80,000 has triggered a "double bottom breakout" pattern. If the breakout above the key resistance level of approximately $82,800 is confirmed, the technical target could point to $100,000. However, Timmer also cautioned that technical patterns are not a guarantee of further gains, and a failed breakout could lead to a rapid price pullback.

The options market also reflects bullish expectations. On Deribit, open interest for BTC $90,000 call options stands at approximately $2.45 billion, $95,000 call options at approximately $2.33 billion, and $100,000 call options at approximately $1.79 billion. (CoinDesk)
