Historically, a sustained movement above the 200-day MA has led to long-term uptrends while a prolonged price movement below the level has often preceded further declines.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez stressed that BTC must remain above the TD Sequential indicator\u2019s risk line at $79,280. He added that a sustained move above this level could set the stage for a strong rebound to the upside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-709856 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ali_05dff4.jpeg?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C572\" alt=\"ali\" width=\"860\" height=\"572\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The potential for a BTC recovery was echoed by fellow crypto analyst Ted. In a post on X, he pointed out that over the past two years, BTC has frequently undergone 25% to 30% corrections before rebounding to new all-time highs (ATHs). Ted <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/1899057574537834975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In 2023, BTC went from $30K to $22K. In 2024, BTC went from $74K to $50K. This year, BTC has dumped from $109K to $79K. We all know what happened after the last 2 major corrections.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-709860 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/ted.jpeg?w=856&#038;resize=856%2C860\" alt=\"ted\" width=\"856\" height=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If BTC follows a similar pattern and climbs 30% from its current price, it could reach approximately $104,000 in a short period. However, broader macroeconomic factors &#8211; such as US President Donald Trump\u2019s trade tariffs and the Federal Reserve\u2019s (Fed) monetary policy &#8211; could significantly impact BTC\u2019s trajectory.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Needs To Reclaim $84,000 First<\/h2>\n<p>In another <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1898983910404440548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a> on X, Martinez outlined BTC\u2019s potential path to a new ATH, emphasizing that BTC must first reclaim $84,000 as a support level before any major upside movement. Once this milestone is secured, the digital asset could rally toward $128,000.<\/p>\n<p>Several indicators suggest that BTC may have already found a local bottom, increasing the chances of a trend reversal. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital recently noted that BTC\u2019s plunge to $78,258 could mark the cycle low.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has just recorded one of its largest weekly breakdowns since 2013, a move that historically signals bullish momentum for risk-on assets like BTC. At press time, BTC trades at $80,137, down 3.5% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-709859 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bitcoin_3362fa.png?resize=2648%2C1682\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"2648\" height=\"1682\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped 11.3% over the past week, currently trading in the low $80,000 range at the time of writing.
