$10,000 Steps Keep Adding Up<\/strong><\/h2>\nSome traders are starting to notice a pattern. According to analyst Trader Tardigrade, Bitcoin has been rising in $10,000 chunks, then taking short breaks. He pointed out moves from $75,000 to $85,000, then to $95,000, and again to $105,000. Each jump is followed by seven to 10 days of sideways action.<\/p>\n

This stair-step pattern isn\u2019t just a lucky guess. It gives traders a chance to breathe, take profits, or set new entries. These pauses can also turn into support zones\u2014levels where buyers step in again. If the same behavior continues, the next target could be $115,000, which is about an 11% jump from where Bitcoin is now.<\/p>\n
Price Holding Above $100K Gives Bulls Confidence<\/strong><\/h2>\nTrading above $100,000 is no small feat. Holding that level gives Bitcoin some strength and psychological support. The more time it spends above this line, the more likely buyers feel safe to enter. Last week’s move was modest, only about a 0.50% gain, but that followed a strong 11% surge<\/a> earlier in May.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/1DGnZKTQ\/\")

Some market watchers think this slow and steady growth is a healthy sign. Instead of wild swings, Bitcoin is showing more controlled movement. It\u2019s building a base, and that can be a setup for something bigger down the road.<\/p>\n
\nThe Golden Ratio Multiplier was one of the few metrics to be accurate in real time at the April 2021 Bitcoin Cycle Top.<\/p>\n
We’ve already hit our cycle top level this cycle once, but this was for the cycle mid-top in March 2024, which means we’re bound to do it again.<\/p>\n
