According to an analysis, based on a commonly used momentum indicator, there is potential for Bitcoin's price to double from its current level of $69,000 within three months.
Analyst TechDev told his 440,000 followers on the X platform that Bitcoin closing above the Bollinger Bands for two consecutive months has historically always indicated a doubling in price within the next three months.
Based on TechDev's analysis, this pattern could enable BTC to reach a level of $140,000 by July.
Bollinger Bands are a significant technical analysis tool used to measure an asset's momentum and volatility. Touching the upper band usually indicates an overbought condition, while touching the lower band indicates an oversold condition. These indicators are more reactive in nature since they are based on past price movements and volatility, and they may yield different results especially in highly volatile markets.
Forecasts regarding Bitcoin's potential are also noteworthy. As stated by SkyBridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci in his statement to CNBC, the prediction that Bitcoin's price could reach $170,000 in the future and represent approximately half of the total value of the global gold market reflects confidence in the cryptocurrency's long-term potential. Scaramucci emphasizes that Bitcoin reaching these levels won't happen suddenly and there will be significant fluctuations along the way. With Bitcoin's current market value at $1.35 trillion, and the total market value of gold at $15.8 trillion, this implies that Bitcoin would need to reach approximately $400,000 for it to equal half of gold's value.

Scaramucci recently referred to the 10 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as "selling machines," believing that these products will increase both retail and institutional demand for Bitcoin. Nine out of these ETFs have already seen net inflows of over $12 billion, indicating a significant increase in interest in cryptocurrency. By comparison, it took the gold ETF GLD a year to amass $10 billion in inflows after its launch, highlighting how quickly spot Bitcoin ETFs have been embraced.
As for the Bitcoin halving event, this is expected to be a significant factor in driving up Bitcoin prices in the short term, according to many market analysts including Scaramucci. The Bitcoin halving involves halving block rewards, which could potentially lead to price increases when combined with reduced new Bitcoin supply and existing demand.
The optimism of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is also noteworthy. Garlinghouse predicts that the total value of the entire crypto market will reach $5 trillion by the end of this year. This forecast reflects his belief that factors such as the halving, regulatory developments, and Bitcoin ETFs will increase crypto adoption. According to Garlinghouse, developments like ETFs are directing real institutional investments into the crypto market for the first time, contributing to the overall growth and value appreciation of the sector.
