Trader counts down to Bitcoin breakout “by the end of the year”

Bitcoin continues to hold $62,000 into the weekly close, having seen a lasting bounce off September support $10,000 lower.

Now, optimistic BTC price forecasts see the good times only getting better for bulls. For Titan of Crypto, the first stop is $85,000.

Uploading a chart of Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) on weekly timeframes, he suggested that momentum was gathering to take the market to new all-time highs and beyond.

“Bitcoin $85,000: Intermediate Target,” he summarized.

RSI is a classic trading indicator used to define likely local tops and bottoms while additionally giving insight into the strength of an uptrend or downtrend at a given price point.

The weekly RSI currently sits above the key 50/100 mark, breaking a downtrend that has been in place since March’s latest all-time high.

Titan of Crypto added that if September ends in the green, the uptrend should continue throughout Q4.

“Historically, when September closes green, Q4 has been bullish,” part of another X post stated . 

“If we close above $59,000 this month, a bullish end of the year is likely. However, even with a red close, both 2017 and 2020 saw green Q4s. Promising Q4 ahead.”

“Furthermore on $61K lows it provides a clear line in the sand for the market,” he concluded.
