Bitcoin’s (BTC) price could be heading toward the $74,000 mark, or the current all-time high, based on a popular technical chart formation, according to popular analyst Trader Tardigrade.

A bull flag is a bullish technical chart pattern formed by two rallies separated by a short retracement period, which signals more upward momentum.

However, historic all-time high price levels remain key support and resistance areas. First, according to Yann Allemann — aka Negentropic — co-founder of Glassnode, BTC/USD must reclaim the old all-time high of $69,000 before confirming a potential rally to $74,000, the current all-time high.

The co-founder wrote in a July 18 X post:“Bitcoin has rallied ~21% since the low on Friday, July 5th. Various technical levels have been broken in a Bullish manner […] Now we look up for the next likely level of 69K before 74K and onwards. We remain Bullish!”BTC/USD, 1-day chart. Source: Negentropic

However, Bitcoin faces significant resistance at $65,000, a price level that has become a key line in the sand for crypto analysts.

Bitcoin has seen United States spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows worth over $1.91 since July 5, but BTC’s price failed to remain above $65,000.

Yet Bitcoin’s upside potential will largely depend on the inflows into the US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

ETF inflows were a significant part of Bitcoin’s 2024 price rally. By Feb. 15, Bitcoin ETFs had accounted for about 75% of new investment in the world’s largest cryptocurrency as it surpassed the $50,000 mark.
