Bitcoin (BTC) began the month with the deepest retrace of the cycle, falling to the $56,000 support level. The retrace raised alarms for some crypto investors and market watchers, who feared the bull run had ended.
Since then, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has recovered crucial levels, and analysts have identified bullish patterns on BTCโs chart, suggesting that it might finally be out of the woods.

Is Bitcoin Out Of Danger?
As the May 1st retrace developed, crypto analyst Rekt Capital highlighted the similarities between Bitcoinโs 2016 and 2024 post-halving performances. He suggested that the flagship cryptocurrencyโs price developmentย came โas no surprise,โ as it was mirroring the โpost-Halving Bitcoin Danger Zoneโ of 2016.
Per the analyst, the โDanger Zoneโ is officially over, which BTC is โcelebrating with a good bounce from the Re-Accumulation Range Low support.โ He stated that May could be an โunremarkableโ month for the largest cryptocurrency, potentially continuing next month. However, Bitcoin is โrunning out of unremarkable monthsโ before the beginning of this cycleโs โParabolic Phase.โ
Additionally, Rekt Capital considers that BTCโs sell-side momentum is starting to show signs of slowing down, โslowly developing a curl against the $60,000 support.โ Per the post, Bitcoin must continue to hold this support zone for the curl to โprogress and eventually lift up.โ

Similarly, analyst Bluntz identified a bullish engulfing pattern on Thursday, considering there would be โa solid engulfing on the daily close.โ To the analyst, it appeared that the โnext push-up into ATH has started.โ
This morning, Bluntz confirmed the pattern formation and announced to his followers that this cycleโs Round 2 began, which would lead to a โfresh ATH.โ
BTCโs Strength Could Lead The Price To 6-Figures
Following the bullish analysis, CryptoJelle stated that BTC โis looking good.โ Per his post, the cryptocurrency โhas nearly completed a full reset,โ as itโs back to the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Additionally, the chart displays a โbullish MACD crossโ below the zero line and the โfirst higher low in a long time,โ suggesting a positive divergence.
Jelle highlights that BTCโs price is again pushing into the trendline that โhas pushed prices lower over the past weeks.โ Despite the higher low, he points out the necessity of reclaiming the $63,000 support zone before new highs come.
For these new highs, he set an $82,000 target for BTCโs price, suggesting that a 6-figure price for the flagship cryptocurrency is possible during this cycle.

Looks like a higher low has been put in, but we still need to break $63,000 convincingly.
Chop city until that happens.

The analyst emphasizes Bitcoinโs performance this cycle, stating that the community has under-appreciated its strength during this bull run. He considers that the run is not over, as the โHalvingโ event occurred just a few weeks ago, and BTCโs price has been consolidating around the previous cycleโs all-time high for a long period.
