Bitcoin remains in its bullish trend and is poised for a significant move. Traders and investors are keenly observing, hoping for a potential climb to $37,700.

However, before you make any decisions, there are indications suggesting caution in the immediate future. This is even as the probabilities of both a drop and a surge are equally imminent.

TLDR

  • Bitcoin is in a bullish pennant pattern and could soon reach $37,700.
  • RSI is overbought, but a pullback might happen from a higher price point.
  • High funding rates suggest a bias towards going long on BTC.
  • Liquidation levels indicate the potential for quick price movements.

Technical analysis

BTC continues in the bullish pennant pattern with a bias to break to the upside. However, BTC remains fighting at the $34,500 horizontal resistance level. We try to keep things relatively simple here from a technical analysis point of view. The consolidation at this price level is strong, and we feel that price will break to the upside in the near term and test the $37,700 area. 

RSI and funding rates

The RSI remains overbought but is coming down very slightly, but there is no change here.

We still believe a pullback will happen, but we feel it’ll come later, from a higher price point, say from $37,700 potentially. 

The funding rate remains very positive, and open interest is now relatively high - it's at its highest in well over a year. This suggests there is a clear bias to be long BTC here, and this potentially aids the idea that a leverage flush out is due, but again, something that may come later rather than imminently. 

What we also note is the liquidation levels. We can see now that there are a lot of levels that could drive squeezes in price, simply because of how stacked the liquidation levels are.

Note the brighter the green/yellow, the larger the amount of USD that would be liquidated if price reached those levels. We believe that if price does move higher or lower into one of these liquidation areas, it will drive through that range relatively quickly as offside positions are liquidated.

Cryptonary’s take

We feel the next move for BTC is a break to the upside to test the $37,700 level. However, we note that leverage is higher than usual, and there are large liquidation levels on both sides of the range. Therefore, if price does break down or breaks out, we feel offside positions will be quickly liquidated, and price will make a large move.

Again, we feel that BTC goes higher here to test that $37,700 level.  

Action 

  1. We are not taking action here and waiting to see what BTC does.
  2. We believe that the move will be higher and that if we do reach $37,700, that may be a local top. However, we did initially feel that $35,000 would be the local top, but because price has consolidated as well as it has, we have altered our opinion to adjust for another move higher for BTC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
