Bitcoin (BTC) is up 9% over the past week and is currently trying to establish support above the key $88,000 level. Momentum indicators like the DMI and Ichimoku Cloud are showing clear bullish signals, with buyers firmly in control.
If this trajectory continues, BTC could soon test higher resistances near $88,000 and potentially aim for $90,000 and beyond. However, analysts warn that renewed uncertainty around Trump’s trade tariffs could disrupt the rally and trigger a pullback toward the $81,000 support zone.
Bitcoin DMI Show Buyers In Full Control
Bitcoin’s DMI chart shows a notable rise in trend strength, with the ADX climbing to 29.54 from 24.07 yesterday.
This increase suggests growing momentum behind the current move, pushing the ADX close to the 30 threshold—widely seen as confirmation of a strong, sustained trend.
A rising ADX doesn’t indicate direction on its own, but when paired with directional indicators, it helps identify the prevailing force in the market.

Looking at those directional indicators, the +DI is currently at 23.47 and has remained steady between 21 and 23 over the past two days.
Meanwhile, the -DI has dropped sharply to 9.45 from 16.65, signaling a significant decline in bearish pressure.
This widening gap between bullish and bearish momentum points to buyers taking control, and if the ADX continues to rise above 30, it could validate a new bullish phase for BTC.
BTC Ichimoku Cloud Shows A Clear Bullish Structure
Bitcoin’s Ichimoku Cloud chart continues to lean bullish, with price holding firmly above both the Tenkan-sen (blue line) and Kijun-sen (red line).
This positioning suggests that both short-term and medium-term momentum remains in favor of buyers.
The flat nature of the Kijun-sen could act as a strong support area, while the rising Tenkan-sen shows buyers are still active on smaller timeframes.

Looking ahead, the Kumo (cloud) is green and steadily rising, which reinforces a positive outlook for the coming sessions. The price is well above the cloud, indicating the trend is bullish and also firmly established.
There’s also a clear gap between the current candle and the cloud, suggesting that the market has room to retrace without shifting the overall structure.
As long as the price stays above the Kijun-sen and the cloud remains green, the bullish trend remains technically intact.
Will Bitcoin Break Above $90,000 Soon?
If Bitcoin price maintains its current momentum, it could soon challenge the resistance at $88,839, with $90,000 as a psychological milestone.
Should the uptrend remain strong, further targets lie at $92,920 and potentially $98,484, marking a continuation of the bullish structure.
However, crypto analyst and Coin Bureau founder Nic Puckrin warns that this momentum could be short-lived. He notes that renewed uncertainty around Trump’s trade tariffs might weigh on BTC:
“The caveat here is that all this positive momentum could disappear in a puff of smoke if there’s any backpedalling on tariffs or an unexpected shock announcement – which we all know is always a possibility. In fact, we continue to have constant back-and-forth on tariffs: exemptions on electronics turned out to be temporary, the details of when tariffs will come in are lacking, and so on,” Puckrin told BeInCrypto.

He also defends that the $81,000 support could be tested again:
“This, perhaps, explains why Bitcoin is, once again, in a “wait and see” pattern, with low liquidations at under $200 million pointing to uncertainty in the market. If we don’t see any external shocks, $88,000-$90,000 is the next range to watch, with liquidity pool clusters at this level suggesting we will see an uptick of volatility here. However, a short-term correction to re-test support at $81,000 would be healthy and, as long as BTC remains above this threshold, would even point to a sustainable price recovery,”
Overall, it looks like the current macroeconomic factors are priced in. Yet, the market is cautious about sudden surprises, as Trump’s recent tariffs went beyond any conventional economic trend and disrupted almost every global financial market.
