“Extremely boring” BTC price may yet surprise at weekly close.

Michael van de Pop, founder and CEO of MN Trading, argued that there is room for a BTC price trip to $27,800, given the upside potential.

“It's a very boring weekend for business, especially for Bitcoin,” he told X subscribers earlier in the day.

“Unchanged outlook. It made a double-bottom test at $26,500 and held there. Currently fighting resistance, another test at $27,000 should close at $27,800.”

This comes from Timothy Peterson, founder and investment manager at Can Island Alternative Advisors, who sees the importance of the BTC price level going forward.

Thanks to the relationship between price and adoption, $27,000 should be the benchmark that remains supported 75% of the time by the end of 2023.

“Bitcoin price spends 75% of its time above the adoption curve. That curve will reach $27,000 in 60 days,” he wrote on X with a chart.

In August, Peterson predicted a 15% BTC price drop in October, which should hit $100,000 in the next three years.
