Recovering above this trend line, which is around $63,000, could put Bitcoin back on track to new highs, according to crypto research platform Ecoinometrics.

Provided that Bitcoin follows the same trajectory seen during previous halving cycles, it could reach over $140,000 during the cycle top in 2025.

Bitcoin price could still correct below $55,000, based on the upcoming Aug. 14 release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
A higher-than-expected reading could lead to another correction, according to pseudonymous trader Crypto Bullet, who <a href="https://x.com/CryptoBullet1/status/1822909943995072617/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> in an Aug. 12 X post:

 “What a monster bullish weekly candle! Long wick, green body. Strong recovery. […] While I think it’s possible to test $53-55k one last time if CPI comes in hot on Wednesday, I can’t be bearish here.”

However, Bitcoin miner reserves fell to 1.8 million BTC, which is lower than miner reserves at the beginning of March when Bitcoin hit its all-time high, <a href="https://x.com/binhdangg1/status/1822949623587365364/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">noted</a> verified CryptoQuant author Binhdangg, in an Aug. 12 X post.

Decreasing miner reserves means less upcoming Bitcoin sell pressure, as miners rely on selling Bitcoin for operations costs.
Yet, Bitcoin needs a confirmation above $60,600 for more upward momentum, according to popular crypto analyst Rekt Capital.
