Bitcoin Could 'Teleport' to $90,000 but Ethereum Is Still the More Interesting Coin, Traders Say

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could extend its explosive rally toward $90,000 as traders see a shift from low-volatility consolidation to a momentum-driven market.

Why Bitcoin’s Breakout Could Have Legs

Speaking on the Aug. 22 episode of Technical Roundup, prominent trader DonAlt said Bitcoin’s breakout was preceded by repeated tests of weekly resistance after bouncing from monthly support.

More importantly, bearish catalysts repeatedly failed to push Bitcoin meaningfully lower, which he viewed as evidence of seller exhaustion.

Analyst Cred added that while the initial breakout was heavily influenced by short liquidations, Bitcoin continued climbing even as liquidations slowed.

He interpreted that as evidence that fresh buying demand had replaced forced short covering as the rally’s primary driver.

That distinction matters because rallies fueled exclusively by liquidations can quickly reverse once shorts are cleared. Continued spot demand, on the other hand, could support a more durable move.

DonAlt sees Bitcoin holding a bullish structure above $72,000 to $73,000, while a drop below $70,000 could weaken momentum.

While $65,000 to $66,000 would threaten the breakout, he targets $89,000 to $94,000 on the upside before an orderly correction.
