Still, some believe the flagship cryptocurrency may be gearing up for its next major move.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent post, Titan of Crypto shared a chart showing that BTC is not only on track to form a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-nears-golden-cross-as-mvrv-ratio-builds-momentum-is-a-breakout-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">golden cross<\/a> but may also see its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator flip bullish \u2013\u00a0 a dual signal last seen in October 2024. At that time, Bitcoin surged significantly, bolstered by the victory of pro-crypto US presidential candidate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-466130 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?resize=1747%2C940\" alt=\"titan\" width=\"1747\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=1747 1747w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/titan_9bb185.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>To explain, a golden cross is a bullish technical indicator that occurs when a short-term moving average\u00a0 \u2013 typically the 50-day MA \u2013 crosses above a long-term moving average\u00a0 \u2013 usually the 200-day MA. It signals potential upward momentum and is often seen as a sign of a trend reversal or continued rally.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, when the MACD turns bullish, it means the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, indicating a potential shift in momentum from bearish to bullish. This suggests that buying pressure may be increasing and a price uptrend could be starting.<\/p>\n<p>Although BTC was recently rejected near the $98,000 level, crypto analysts, such as Rekt Capital, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rektcapital\/status\/1918021889793937888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">suggest<\/a> this is expected behavior. For Bitcoin to break out to new all-time highs (ATH), it must first hold support at $93,500 and decisively break above $99,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Should it clear this resistance, BTC could face another rejection at $104,500. However, successfully flipping the $99,000 level into support would likely pave the way for a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-headed-to-135000-analyst-uses-fibonacci-extension-to-make-the-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">new ATH<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Not All Analysts Are Bullish<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the growing optimism, not all market observers are convinced a breakout is imminent. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1919127139301114179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pointed<\/a> out that the TD Sequential indicator is currently flashing a sell signal on the 3-day BTC chart \u2013 a potential sign of short-term weakness.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the mixed outlook, BTC\u2019s open interest in the futures market is now <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-open-interest-approaches-key-breakout-zone-seen-in-prior-bull-markets-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">approaching<\/a> historically high levels \u2013 a trend seen in previous bull markets that has typically led to price surge. At press time, BTC trades at $94,122, down 1.5% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-466126 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?resize=980%2C622\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"980\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=2648 2648w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bitcon.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent X post by noted crypto analyst Titan of Crypto, Bitcoin (BTC) is fast approaching a golden cross formation \u2013 a bullish technical indicator that often precedes significant price appreciation.
