Bitcoin regained bullish momentum after a roughly 5% surge that pushed BTC above $76,000 on Tuesday, prompting traders and analysts to flag further upside toward the $90,000 area as on-chain activity improves.
Price action and technical setup
Trading data show the BTC/USD pair reached an intraday peak near $76,120, levels not seen since early February. The move reclaimed important support around $75,000, where the 100-day exponential and simple moving averages sit close together. Market commentators said clearing the $76,000 zone would mark a trend reversal and open the path for sustained gains.
Chart technicians point to an ascending triangle pattern after Bitcoin pierced its upper trend line near $73,000. A daily close above the moving averages close to $75,000 would confirm that breakout, with the next obvious resistance at the psychological $80,000 mark. Measured targets from the pattern put a potential objective near $89,050 — roughly 18% above current prices — while some scenarios note a confirmed break above $76,000 could also lead to a run toward about $84,000.
Momentum indicators have strengthened alongside the rally. The daily relative strength index climbed to roughly 63 from deeply oversold readings near 15 in early February, suggesting growing bullish momentum. Analysts also emphasized that the 100-day moving average still acts as a resistance hurdle; a decisive move above that level would reinforce a bullish case.
On-chain activity backs price strength
On-chain metrics have mirrored the price improvement. Bitcoin’s daily transaction count rose sharply this year, up about 62% to roughly 765,130 on April 5 — the highest daily transaction total since November 2024, when election-driven interest briefly pushed BTC past six figures. Observers noted that current transaction volumes exceed levels seen when Bitcoin was trading well above $100,000.
Fee volumes have edged higher, too: total daily fees increased roughly 4% over the past week to about $153,700, according to market-data provider Glassnode. That uptick in fees can reflect greater demand for block space and users’ willingness to pay for transaction priority, a dynamic often associated with heightened network use during bull phases.
Implications
Rising transaction counts and fee income typically signal more active participation on the network, which market participants interpret as a sign of increased interest and confidence. If on-chain momentum continues alongside technical breakout confirmation, traders see scope for a multi-thousand-dollar advance toward the $84,000–$90,000 neighborhood. Conversely, failure to sustain levels above the moving averages would keep risk to the downside.
