Bitcoin price prediction for Easter 2025

With Easter 2025 fast approaching, cryptocurrency traders are paying close attention to Bitcoin ($BTC) price action — hoping to spot trend reversals, chart patterns, or any other signals that can clue them in as to how the leading digital asset will trade in the coming weeks and days.

Unlike the stock market which is closed on Good Friday, the cryptocurrency market does not close for the holidays. First things first — let’s examine the present state of affairs. At press time on, April 18, Bitcoin was changing hands at $84,560, after a 0.28% uptick on the daily chart that has brought weekly gains up to 2.34%.

$BTC volume has already seen a steady decline typical of holidays. Lower trading volume tends to weaken price movements in either direction. However, we have to work with what we have at hand — so here’s our Bitcoin price prediction for Easter 2025.

Bitcoin forecast for Easter 2025

The local level of resistance on the weekly Bitcoin chart stands at $85,500, while price has found local support at $83,000. Accordingly, it would take a 1.16% move to the upside to test resistance, and a 1.84% move to the downside to test support.

As of the time of writing, $BTC’s relative strength index (RSI) stood at 50.29 — an almost perfect midpoint between oversold conditions seen at levels below 30, and overbought conditions seen at levels above 70.

Moreover, plotting a line across the lower highs seen on April 17 and 18, as well as the lower lows, reveals what appears to be a falling wedge pattern. This is a bullish chart pattern — but with volume having cooled off, its legitimacy is up for debate. If it is legitimate, however, then we will likely see a retesting of resistance by Easter 2025.

Currently, Bitcoin’s 50-day moving average (MA) stands at $87,039, while the 200-day MA is at $80,358, which supports a bullish outlook. A successful retest of resistance, followed by a move above the 50-day MA would further bolster the bull case.

Renowned technical analyst Rudo Viljoen has highlighted the fact that no major stopgaps exist between $83,000 and $71,000 — and that a fall below local support could lead to Bitcoin crashing 16% by Easter 2025.

With that being said, a true, meaningful break below $83,000 remains unlikely, especially with weakened volume, outside of a bearish catalyst in the form of a negative geopolitical or macro development.
