Bitcoin (BTC) price is showing renewed strength as it continues to push higher through key resistance levels. The price action confirms a breakout pattern that mirrors previous major rallies.
Bitcoin price is trading above $94,000, supported by strong spot buying and rising institutional interest.
Bitcoin Price Breaks Key Levels as Volume and Structure Support Bullish Case
The Bitcoin price action has shown a series of higher lows and higher highs since the beginning of April. Trading volumes have risen steadily after each consolidation, indicating growing demand from both retail and institutional participants.
A connecting bullish trend line is visible with support near $94,200 on the hourly BTC price chart. Data from TradingView confirms that Bitcoin has remained above its 100-hourly simple moving average, showing clear strength.

Short-Term Reversal Risks Remain, But Quarterly Bullish Structure Prevails
There are some concerns due to the FOMC meeting scheduled on May 7, which has created some apprehensions among some traders. Banking on the past performance of the Bitcoin market, it is seen that the prices have traded reversely near the FOMC dates.
That occurred because of the change in the sentiment of investors. It has been explained by the renowned Analyst @astronomer_zero, who noted that FOMC events lead to local retracement, even on an uptrend.
However, he emphasized that the current quarterly move is based on higher time frames. Those time frames are typically more powerful than intra-month reversals. He wrote, “The quarterly move is spot-driven, powerful, and outweighs the short-term FOMC risks.”

The market is also seeing stubborn spot-driven moves, with negative funding rates and local pullbacks creating stronger bases for higher prices. Data shows that sudden spot premium shifts have supported continued upward pressure on Bitcoin.
Macro Environment Supports Bitcoin Price’s Ongoing Strength
The macroeconomic environment further supports the growth of Bitcoin at a higher level. The global M2 money supply expansion, the rising institutional interest, and the scarcity theory have made more people invest in the asset.
Colin Talks Crypto shared, “Pump confirmed by Global M2, Tether dominance, and Bitcoin price chart TA.” His analysis supports the view that Bitcoin price could reach new all-time highs in the coming months.

Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick also predicted that Bitcoin price could hit $120,000 in the second quarter. He added that he expects Bitcoin to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025 if current trends continue.
Meanwhile, long-term holders are tightening supply by refusing to sell into strength, adding pressure on available liquidity. With large inflows into Bitcoin-associated ETFs and companies like Strategy continuing aggressive accumulation, Bitcoin’s bullish case remains intact.
Market participants will watch the $95,500 resistance zone closely. A successful breakout above this level could lead to strong continuation toward $98,800 and beyond. Immediate support Bitcoin price remains at $94,200 and $93,500, cushioning any local retracements.
