Technical Structure Shows Strong Bullish Momentum
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin maintains a bullish structure on the daily timeframe, trading above the Ichimoku Cloud with consistently higher lows since early April.
The Price holds near $75,679 after a strong rebound from $70,000, confirming sustained buyer dominance and strong upward momentum, with $77,000 as the immediate target zone.
Ichimoku signals remain bullish as price stays above Tenkan-sen at $73,429 and Kijun-sen at $70,668. The cloud support is rising between $69,713 and $72,048, reinforcing trend strength.
Bollinger upper band near $76,998 suggests strong momentum, though short-term overextension pressure is gradually building in current setup conditions.
The main level of resistance is placed at $76,900-$77,000, which will be the next target to overcome for further growth.
The first level of support is set at $73,400, and there is a higher level of support at $70,600. Maintaining the price above $70,000 preserves the bullish scenario
Momentum Indicators Signal Continued Uptrend Pressure
The momentum indicators are also indicating a bullish momentum trend. This is evident from the value of the RSI, which is currently 64.68, with the average signal at 57.81.
The rising slope of the line indicates the possibility of more buying, but the proximity to the 70 mark suggests that there might be a slight retracement.
In the case of the MACD setup, the MACD line is at 1555.28, above the signal line, which is at 921.20. The histogram is at about 634.08. It shows a continuation of the bullish trend because the green bars are widening to show increasing momentum.
