Summary ⚈ Bitcoin must hold above $91,400 to reach a potential top around $155,000. ⚈ Rising global liquidity (M2 supply) could fuel Bitcoin’s rally toward $150,000. ⚈ Large exchange outflows and strong technical indicators signal continued bullish momentum. While Bitcoin ( BTC ) has found momentum above the $90,000 mark, an expert views this position as crucial for the asset to reach a record high of over $150,000. Citing the Pi Cycle Top Indicator, prominent on-chain cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez suggested that Bitcoin could climb as high as $155,400 but must maintain a price above $91,400, he said in an X post on April 27.

Now, Martinez’s outlook is that the two averages are converging again, signaling a potential top if Bitcoin holds above $91,400. Although the analyst did not provide a timeline for Bitcoin to remain above this level, it comes at a time when the digital currency is seeing short-term momentum, driven by supposedly easing trade tensions between the United States and China. More catalysts support Bitcoin to $150,000 In the same breadth, another cryptocurrency analyst, Ted Pillows, believes that Bitcoin will likely trade at $150,000 during this cycle but pointed to a different catalyst. In an X post on April 27, Pillows noted that a surge in global M2 supply could trigger Bitcoin’s rally, as the asset has historically tracked expansions in global liquidity. He also addressed concerns over misleading data suggesting a drop in India’s M2 supply, attributing it to a technical glitch. Even if M2 stabilizes, Pillows believes strong fundamentals and technical indicators position Bitcoin to surpass $150,000. Bitcoin/M2 supply chart.

Indeed, further on-chain data supports the possibility of Bitcoin hitting a new high, with insights from crypto analytics platform Santiment suggesting investors anticipate a continued price rebound for BTC. Specifically, as of April 26, over 40,000 BTC had been withdrawn from centralized exchanges within a week. Such a shift often signals a growing trend of investors moving their assets to cold storage, suggesting strong confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
