This week, the Bitcoin price 4-hour chart shows signs of an impending breakout. The price is still trending above the two moving average indicators, confirming the bullish bias.

BTC price has also been posting higher lows since the beginning of May, forming a consistent steady uptrend. As long as the price action stays above the trendline, Bitcoin will continue to be bullish.

Currently, BTC is at a point of decision-making since it is at the end of the descending triangle. While this chart pattern mostly results in bearish plays, it sometimes resolves in an explosive upward breakout. 

If BTC’s price breaks to the upside, it could rise as high as $77,000. However, along the way, there are key resistance points around $70,000, $71,000, and $74,000. In an inverse scenario, Bitcoin may find support around $66,000, which has been tested twice in the past two weeks.

Blackrock’s BTC ETF Hits $20 Billion in Record Time

Blackrock, the trillion-dollar U.S. asset management firm has been accumulating Bitcoin rapidly since the ETF received approval in January. As of April 30, 2023, Blackrock was just 15,000 BTC shy of overtaking Grayscale in the Bitcoin holdings. 

In the meantime, the Blackrock spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) just hit $20 billion, becoming the fastest-growing ETF in history to hit that figure in under 1,000 days.

These metrics suggest a growing Bitcoin adoption that may soon transform into an explosive Bitcoin price.
