Despite the solid technical structure, Bitcoin is required to close the day above $70,000 as the second confirmation of the uptrend. Otherwise, the dance between this level and support at $67,000 may continue this week.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin price prediction reveals that the coin has the potential to reach new all-time highs and perhaps continue with therapy to $100,000 in June and other months in the future buoyed by positive digital fund inflows, ETFs, and the elections in the US.
