Bitcoin Price Prediction: $72K Test Opens BTC 15% Upside Above 200 EMA

Bitcoin traded 3.3% higher at $71,629.78 by 09:03 UTC today (Thursday), extending a two-day advance after gaining about 7% on Wednesday. The move carried BTC through the top of its June to August range near $67,000 and into the 200-day exponential moving average at $71,541.21.

A daily close above that average would activate $75,338.53 as the first resistance, followed by my main target at $82,614.16. The second level is about 15.3% above the chart's reference price, while a rejection would put the broken $66,779.63 area back in play.

This is a material change from my July 20 Bitcoin forecast, when the $65,261 range floor had turned into resistance and the chart pointed toward $44,858. BTC has since reclaimed that floor, its 50-day EMA and the descending trend line that capped the summer consolidation.
