BTC price targets see $33K next as Bitcoin eyes key resistance flip
Bitcoin (BTC) preserved new ten-month highs at the April 14 Wall Street open as analysts kept hoping for further gains.
$31,000 revealed as make-or-break trend line
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD consolidating around $30,700 after spiking past the $31,000 mark.
The pair saw no major retracement as it headed further into ground it originally lost in June 2022.
Now, market participants eyed the potential for bulls to capitalize on existing momentum with the help of positive macro trends.
United States equities opened higher, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index both up 0.3% at the time of writing.
“With stocks opening up hot, $BTC was able to maintain above the previous range high,” popular trader and analyst Josh Rager told Twitter followers after the open.
“Think we can see a retest and push higher here above $31k+.”
Others also considered the possibility of BTC/USD hitting $32,000 or more in the short term before taking a more pronounced time out.

It’s unclear whether $BTC needs to dip to solidify ~$28800 as support before jumping to $33000

“I believe the next stop is just a hair above $33,000, where we’ll encounter the 100 moving average, on the weekly time frame,” macro analyst Jesse Dow continued in part of Twitter analysis during the week.
“Don’t forget we have bullish divergence and convergence on the weekly. And this has NEVER failed after we’ve seen at least a 75% drop in Bitcoin’s price, from the previous cycle.”
Zooming out, the importance of the current range for spot price became all the more visible, with $31,000 acting as support through 2021 until the June 2022 breakdown.
