The main idea is simple: if Bitcoin breaks above the handle resistance, the chart projects a larger upward move. Crypto Patel marks possible upside targets at $200,000, $300,000, and $400,000, with the main measured target near $363,142.
However, Bitcoin has not confirmed the breakout yet. The price still needs to clear the upper side of the handle with strength. Until then, the setup remains a long-term pattern, not a confirmed move.
The chart also marks an accumulation zone between $60,000 and $40,000, but Bitcoin only partially entered that range. That means buyers may not get a full retest of the lower zone unless $BTC loses current support.
For now, the key level is the handle resistance area. A breakout above it could support the bullish cup and handle target. But if $BTC falls back into the handle, price may continue moving sideways before any larger expansion.
Bitcoin Tests Bull Market Support Band as $BTC Pushes Into Low $80K Zone
Bitcoin traded near $80,347 on the weekly Coinbase chart, slightly above the Bull Market Support Band. The chart shared by Daan Crypto Trades shows $BTC trying to reclaim this key trend zone after recovering from the March–April low area.
The support band sits around $76,177–$78,614 on the chart. Bitcoin has moved above it, but the breakout is not clean yet. Price still needs to hold above the band and push through the low $80,000 area with stronger follow-through.

Daan said $BTC should clear the “sticky area” around the low $80Ks and hold there for one or two weeks. That matters because the weekly chart needs confirmation, not only a short move above resistance.
The chart also shows Bitcoin trading above the weekly 200EMA near $68,685 and the weekly 200MA near $60,809. These levels remain deeper support zones if $BTC fails to hold the current recovery.
For now, Bitcoin is in a reclaim attempt. A weekly hold above the low $80Ks would strengthen the bullish case. However, a drop back below the Bull Market Support Band could turn the move into another failed breakout.
