With Bitcoin (BTC) soaring above the $60,000 mark, a majority of market interest is focused on the maiden crypto holding gains above this level in search of a new record.
In this regard, crypto trading expert TradingShot, in a TradingView post on July 16, pointed out that Bitcoin needs to clear specific levels to validate its long-term bullish momentum.
In identifying the next crucial target, the expert acknowledged that Bitcoin recently broke above its 50-day moving average (1D MA50), marking the first time it has done so in over a month since June 18.

Bitcoin’s key levels to watch
Given the progression of these bullish legs, TradingShot set a target of $69,500 for Bitcoin, slightly below the projected 30.49% increase from the recent low. This target is crucial for Bitcoin to achieve long-term bullish confirmation.
“We are aiming for $69500, slightly below the +30.30% mark. We will have a long-term bullish confirmation once BTC breaks above March’s Resistance Zone,” the expert stated.
The long-term bullish confirmation will be validated once Bitcoin breaks above the resistance zone established in March, following the crypto reaching a new all-time high above the $73,000 mark. Achieving this milestone would indicate a significant shift in Bitcoin’s trend, potentially leading to higher gains in the future.
Additionally, TradingShot’s projection aligns with the outlook provided by another crypto analyst, Michaël van de Poppe, who believes Bitcoin is primed for a record high in the third quarter. In an X post on July 16, Poppe noted that as long as Bitcoin sustains its price above $60,000, it should maintain positive gains.

Notbaly, after consolidation below this crucial point, the market has been anticipating Bitcoin’s recovery above the $60,000 level. Bitcoin seems to have moved past the bearish sentiment caused by the Mt. Gox repayments and the German government’s decision to sell its Bitcoin holdings.
Bitcoin’s recovery has been partly buoyed by news surrounding the failed assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, who has recently emerged as a pro-crypto politician.
