Bitcoin at a Crossroads: Analysts Pinpoint Make-or-Break Price Zones for BTC’s Next Big Move

Bitcoin's price action is tightening like a coiled spring—and the crypto market is holding its breath.

Key levels to watch as BTC approaches inflection point

The king of crypto isn't giving up its crown without a fight. After months of sideways action, Bitcoin's chart is printing textbook consolidation patterns that have technical analysts scrambling to their drawing boards. The next 10% move could determine whether we're looking at a march toward new highs or another painful retracement.

Meanwhile, traditional finance 'experts' still can't decide if crypto is dead or about to replace the dollar—maybe hedge your bets with both?

Bitcoin Is Eyeing New Price Horizons

In a new historic milestone, bitcoin (BTC) has now broken predicted pathways to hit a major new ATH of $122K. The token is currently down 2%, stabilizing around $117K at press time. However, the current price surge has led investors to speculate on new price momentum and ceilings that BTC can now break in the near future.

Per Ali Martinez, Bitcoin is already searching for a new price ceiling to break and can now target three new price spots that could change the market trajectory for the better. In his recent X post, Martinez was quick to share these three price ceilings, adding how BTC can now target the next key levels of $131,000, $144,000, and $158,000.

The Current BTC Path: What Lies Ahead for the Token?

While Martinez’s BTC analysis is ambitious and certainly achievable, CoinCodex, on the other hand, shares a similar stance on BTC’s future price path. Per CC, Bitcoin may first hit $135K by mid-August 2025.
