Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Targets $88K as Market Rebounds Toward $3 Trillion

Published by

The global crypto market is beginning to recover, rising slightly to a total valuation of $2.95 trillion, up 2.84% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin has joined the move, climbing more than 3% and trading around $86,395. 

Bitcoin Shows Expected Bounce: But Is It a True Reversal?

Based on the current Elliott Wave structure shared by an analyst, Bitcoin’s latest price movement resembles a wave-four bounce. Analysts had earlier highlighted the possibility of a five-wave move upward followed by a correction, and the chart appears to be following that exact path. 

Bitcoin recently created a small five-wave push to the upside, pulled back into support, and may now be forming the next leg within a broader ABC corrective pattern. If this plays out, BTC could rise toward $88,640, which aligns with the 100% Fibonacci extension level. The concern is that weekend moves are historically unreliable and can quickly reverse due to low trading volume.

Support and Resistance: Bitcoin Enters a Vulnerable Zone

Bitcoin is now moving away from support and toward resistance, a point where the market becomes more fragile. The key support area between $81,620 and $83,640 is still holding strong, and as long as BTC stays above it, the upward structure remains intact. A dip into this zone would not break the pattern. 

The immediate resistance sits around $86,370, where Bitcoin is already facing pressure. Even a temporary break above this level could fail if strong buying volume does not appear. The short-term outlook weakens if BTC falls below $84,230, the recent swing low.

Bigger Picture: BTC Could Target $92K–$111K in the Coming Weeks

Bitcoin is approaching a much larger resistance region between $92,820 and $111,180. This zone is significant because it is the expected destination for a wave-four recovery. 

BTC could spend the next week or two slowly moving in this direction. The most likely path involves a three-wave A-move upward, followed by a B-wave pullback and a final C-wave bounce toward the major resistance area. This structure fits with the broader corrective phase Bitcoin has been navigating.
