BUY BITCOIN
If you were perusing Crypto Twitter in December of last year, you likely remember the fear that was circulating amongst Bitcoin investors; from June 2019 to December 2019, the price of the leading cryptocurrency fell by over 50% from $14,000 to $6,400, a move that few called.
Then, investors across the board were certain that the cryptocurrency was poised to fall further and further, citing the steep downtrend that had formed.
But as 2019 became 2020, the crypto market suddenly reversed, with Bitcoin recently rallying as high as $9,620 from the $6,400 bottom seen in the middle of December, marking a surge of effectively 50%.
One that called this bullish reversal into the $9,000s is CryptoBirb, a technical analyst and cryptocurrency commentator. He, when BTC was trading at $7,500 weeks ago, targeted the $9,000s as a price that a breakout could take BTC.
The trader recently gave his latest forecast for the Bitcoin market, showing where he expects the leading digital asset to head next.
Bitcoin Could Soon Surge Above $12,000, Top Analyst Predicts
CryptoBirb recently posted the below chart to Twitter, writing that this is “the most textbook setup Bitcoin could get,” depicting that he expects for BTC to hold the $9,000s, retrace to medium time frame demand in the low-$8,000s, then spring higher into $10,000 and beyond the end of the month.

This short-term forecast the analyst has depicted would confirm his medium-term analysis that Bitcoin will in the near future see prices well above $10,000.
As he noted in the below tweet, he expects for a low time frame retracement and weekly close above $9,600 — which Bitcoin will achieve if it follows CryptoBirb’s abovementioned analyst — to confirm a move up towards $12,500 to $13,000 — 36% and 40% higher than the current price of $9,200, respectively,

Others Tend to Agree
CryptoBirb isn’t the only recently-eerily accurate analyst to have called for Bitcoin to head into the $11,000s and $12,000s.
Per previous reports from NewsBTC, leading Bitcoin analyst Financial Survivalism (also known as Sawcruhteez) noted on January 28th that BTC has formed a medium-term cup and handle reversal pattern.
The cup and handle is an often-bullish chart pattern that sees an asset form two rounded trends, forming the cup and its respective handle. This specific cup and handle has a targeted move of around $11,675 — 27% higher than the current price of $9,200.
Also, prominent cryptocurrency trader Filb Filb, whose track record can be epitomized by the above chart he published in October 2019 (a hint: Bitcoin followed the path of the chart almost exactly), wrote the following in a recent newsletter:
“Overall, Bitcoin is exactly where [I] anticipated; slowly grinding up towards previous resistance… I’m very much of the opinion that Bitcoin will reach to at least $12,500 level before the halving.”
As to why $12,500 makes sense, he noted that that is the “top target” for a bullish inverse head and shoulders chart that is forming on a medium-term basis for Bitcoin.
