Bitcoin (BTC) Defies Gravity Above Bull Flag—Is a 2025 Mega-Rally Imminent?

Bitcoin isn’t just holding—it’s flexing. The king of crypto has cemented its position above a critical bull flag pattern, sparking whispers of a parabolic move. Traders are glued to charts, hedging bets on whether this is the calm before the storm or another fakeout in crypto’s theater of volatility.

The Technical Tightrope

Flags don’t wave forever. BTC’s consolidation looks less like fatigue and more like a coiled spring. Breakout targets? Old highs—and beyond. But let’s not pop champagne yet. The last time Wall Street analysts nodded this hard at a 'textbook pattern,' retail traders got left holding the bag.

The Cynic’s Corner

Sure, the chart looks bullish. Then again, so did every Ponzi scheme before the music stopped. If Bitcoin’s 'inevitable rally' falters, at least the memes will be glorious.

Could the CME gap down to $117,000 still be filled?

A strong rally is probably on the cards for the $BTC price. However, there may be some housekeeping to do first, in the FORM of a quick dip down to close the recent CME gap that stretches from $119,000 down to just over $117,000.

If the $BTC price did take this particular route, the potential dip WOULD likely coincide with a retest of the top trendline of the bull flag, so probably no harm done.

CME gaps aren’t always filled, but most of the time they are. It just remains to be seen in this particular instance whether the market will want to take off to the upside, or whether it can be held for a last little dip.

$BTC is currently respecting an ascending trendline (faint dotted line), so if the price falls through this line, it could be a sign that a retrace to $117,000 might be about to take place. On the other hand, if the price lifts off from this trendline, and given the strong bullish fervour in the market, it just might not come back.

Horizontal support can favour the gap fill

The daily chart illustrates that things are relatively serene for $BTC. That said, the Stochastic RSI indicators are perhaps shaping to turn back down. They have not quite reached the top so this remains to be seen. The blue 50-day SMA is travelling up, and it could act as support again if there was more than a slight dip in price. 

Also on the subject of support, it can be seen that the lower part of the horizontal support band would not be far from the bottom of the CME gap. Could these particular stars be aligning?

A very bullish 2-week chart

Zooming a lot further out, the 2-week chart continues to look bullish for the $BTC price. In the price action it can be observed that should this two-week period close more or less as is, the current candle will envelop the previous one. If one looks back to the previous bull flag, a similar enveloping candle was what took the price up to the next bull flag.

At the bottom of the chart, the Relative Strength Index reveals that the indicator line is right up against the descending trendline. A breakthrough here would likely result in a strong surge to the upside. Watch this closely.
