As a seasoned researcher with a strong background in technical analysis and financial markets, I have closely observed the behavior of Bitcoin’s Bollinger bands throughout its history. My extensive experience has taught me that these bands are a powerful tool for identifying trends and potential price movements in the cryptocurrency market.
The cost of Bitcoin, the leading digital currency, has spiked up to hit $67,000 in recent times. As it recovers from this price level, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst indicates that based on a significant technical signal, Bitcoin’s value could potentially reach anywhere between $140,000 and $190,000.
In a recent post on microblogging platform X, renowned analyst Julien Bittel drew attention to his 70,000 followers by pointing out that Bitcoin’s Bollinger bands are presently “extremely narrow” based on historical data. Only two other months, April 2016 and July 2023, have displayed such a tight weekly compression.
Bittel observed that the cost of the leading cryptocurrency increased notably in the subsequent 12 months for both instances. This observation hints at the possibility of Bitcoin reaching between $140,000 and $190,000 in value.
The compression of Bitcoin’s Bollinger Bands in their current state is highly unusual based on historical data. Only the weeks of April 2016 and July 2023 have exhibited such tight bands in the past. In those instances, Bitcoin experienced substantial price growth within the subsequent twelve months.

As a researcher studying financial markets, I would describe Bollinger bands as a valuable technical analysis method for assessing market volatility. These bands are formed using three distinct lines: a primary line, which represents a moving average (MA) of the asset’s price; and two secondary lines that lie above and below the MA. The distance between the MA and these secondary lines is determined by adding and subtracting a specific multiple of the price’s standard deviation.
The standard deviation represents the degree of price variation from the mean. In periods of heightened volatility, there is a significant increase in the distance between the average and the price ranges, leading to a broader bandwidth. On the other hand, when volatility decreases, the price ranges converge around the average, resulting in a narrower bandwidth.
A widely expansive or elevated bandwidth could be a sign that the current bullish or bearish market trend is nearing its end, according to Fidelity’s analysis. Conversely, a significantly narrow bandwidth might indicate an upcoming market shift in either direction.
