Bitcoin<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price"> (BTC) </a>delivered its best weekly performance in over two months, climbing 4.24% to an intra-day high at $88,804. BTC also reclaimed a bullish stance on the charts, closing above the daily chart’s 200-day exponential moving average (EMA).

With a weekly close above $84,600, the likelihood of BTC testing $90,000 increases. However, BTC price must overcome the descending resistance level to make a sustainable move at the range highs. 
<h2 id="bitcoin-correction-is-a-healthy-pause">Bitcoin correction is a “healthy pause”</h2>
Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://adlerscryptoinsights.substack.com/p/bitcoin-trends-w4-march-2025" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://adlerscryptoinsights.substack.com/p/bitcoin-trends-w4-march-2025">explained</a> that based on onchain metrics, the current&nbsp;price cycle reflects a healthy consolidation rather than the beginning of a bear market. Adler Jr. noted that BTC has not yet entered “overheated” territory in this cycle, as indicated by BTC’s Investor Price Model.&nbsp;
This metric flashed a sell signal twice during 2021, and the model incorporates the realized cap, thermo cap, investor price, and Bitcoin supply.&nbsp;
Using Bitcoin’s cumulative value days destroyed (CVDD), Adler argued that the market remains in a “growth stage.”

The CVDD metric monitors selling activity among long-term holders. The current bull cycle (2024-2025) triggered a sell signal just once, back in March 2024. In a Substack article, Adler said:
<blockquote>
 “Considering the current market dynamics, we might see seasoned investors taking profits once Bitcoin breaches key peak levels ($123K), potentially exerting downward pressure on the price.”
</blockquote>
From the above analysis, Adler Jr. predicted that Bitcoin could climb to $130,000 within 90 days.

According to <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://velo.xyz/chart" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://velo.xyz/chart">Velo data</a>, Bitcoin's open interest (OI), representing the total value of outstanding futures contracts, jumped by over $1.5 billion in the last 24 hours. 
Meanwhile, the funding rate, which reflects the cost of holding leveraged positions, stayed near neutral. This suggests that neither bullish (long) nor bearish (short) traders were dominantly in control.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bitcoin experienced a surge in upward momentum late on Sunday, March 23rd. Weekend price rallies like this often occur with lower trading volume, as larger market participants tend to step back until the start of the week. In such a scenario, leveraged trades amplifying the action could heavily influence the price movement.
In an X post, anonymous crypto analyst IT Tech PL also <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/IT_Tech_PL/status/1904121692672205059" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://x.com/IT_Tech_PL/status/1904121692672205059">pointed</a> out the OI level rise after BTC exceeded $87,500. However, the analyst added:
<blockquote>
 “But here’s the catch: High OI + Rapid Price Increase = Risk of Liquidation Cascades!”
</blockquote>

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin registered a new high at $88,750 over the previous week’s top. However, as the chart exhibited, the price tested the upper Bollinger Band alongside the descending resistance. Additionally, BTC is also oscillating within an ascending channel. 
Based on the above confluence, BTC could witness a short-term correction to test the demand zone around $86,000-$87,000 before breaking through the $90,000 threshold.
