Looking ahead, he sees the next breakout target between $116,000 and $120,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His confidence stems from several positive indicators, including a strong bullish divergence observed on the daily chart\u2014a technical signal often associated with forthcoming price increases. He emphasized that daily divergences tend to have a higher success rate than those seen on longer time frames.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Doctor Profit pointed out that the funding rate is currently stable, with no over-leveraged positions in the market. He noted that BTC recently broke out of a significant double bottom formation and is now testing previous highs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A critical factor in his outlook is the substantial accumulation by US exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are reportedly purchasing Bitcoin at a rate eight times greater than its current mining output.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This aggressive accumulation phase, according to Doctor Profit, indicates institutional interest remains robust, even as retail traders have largely stayed on the sidelines during recent volatility.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Could Dip To $90,000<\/h2>\n<p>The analyst also highlighted that the strongest retail buying occurred around the $90,000 mark, which also represents a liquidity hotspot. Should the market revisit this level, he sees it as an optimal entry point, perfectly positioned at the bottom of the established trading box.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Doctor Profit anticipates volatility, particularly in light of Moody&#8217;s recent downgrade of the US credit rating from AAA to AA1\u2014the first major downgrade since S&amp;P&#8217;s similar action in 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Historical context suggests that such downgrades can lead to swift market corrections. In August 2011, following a downgrade, markets dropped by 5.5% in a single day. Doctor Profit believes that Bitcoin could similarly dip into the $90,000 range to capture liquidity before rebounding.<\/p>\n<p>Despite potential short-term fluctuations due to the downgrade, Doctor Profit maintains a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, reiterating his target of $116,000 to $120,000. He noted that the market had largely priced in the downgrade, and historically, stocks have rallied following such events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With major institutions, including BlackRock, increasing their Bitcoin purchases in the exchange-traded fund arena, Doctor Profit sees no signs of weakness in the market, pointing to further price gains for the market\u2019s leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/6MXcuYtL\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1814\" height=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $105,400, marking a 12% increase over the past two weeks and a nearly 24% increase over the past month.
