Bitcoin SOTT Indicator Flashes Green – Is A New ATH Imminent? Analyst Weighs In

Ah, Bitcoin! The eternal rollercoaster, the asset that manages to elude sense, while riding high on the whispers of analysts and the bravado of crypto enthusiasts. Earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) crossed the once-unimaginable $95,000 mark for the first time since February 2025. It’s like watching a high-strung thoroughbred come out of the gate, and now the pundits are all in a tizzy, predicting that this digital asset might just waltz its way into a new all-time high (ATH). Will it? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Bitcoin SOTT Indicator Turns Green, More Upside Ahead?

In a tweet that probably cost more in crypto than most of us make in a year, Titan of Crypto, the self-styled oracle of the blockchain world, announced that Bitcoin’s State of the Trend (SOTT) indicator has turned a rather optimistic shade of green on the weekly chart. For those unacquainted with the lexicon, the SOTT is simply a tool designed to give you the false comfort of knowing whether you’re riding a trend or about to be trampled by one.

When this indicator last flashed green in the autumn of 2023, Bitcoin shot up like a rocket – 172% to be precise. And then, as if following an unspoken script, it repeated the stunt in early 2024, adding another 92% to its value. Who writes these scripts, really?

To clarify, the SOTT is a momentum-based metric that watches Bitcoin’s price movements over time and, when it turns green, suggests a bullish trend. This is essentially an optimistic wink at a market that, quite frankly, has been as unpredictable as a cat on catnip. But, dear reader, while the SOTT is green, nothing is guaranteed, not even your morning coffee.

At present, projections have BTC potentially surging to $130,000, a price point that even the most optimistic crypto fanboys dare not dream of. For reference, Bitcoin’s current ATH stands at a modest $108,786—hardly the stuff of legends, but certainly a nice dinner at a Michelin star restaurant. So, where will this wild ride take us? Time will tell. Probably more ups than downs, but we can’t promise you won’t lose your lunch along the way.

And lest we forget, there’s a curious thing happening in the market. Fewer Bitcoin addresses are sending their coins to exchanges, as if the world collectively decided to hold onto their precious digital coins. According to Master of Crypto, who probably lives and breathes this stuff, the number of BTC transfers to exchanges has dropped significantly. From 71,000 to 52,000 over the last year, and it’s trending back to the levels we saw in 2016. So fewer coins are hitting the market, and that might just mean a stronger price floor, or it could be an elaborate ruse to make you think it’s time to buy.

“For context, the 10-year norm sits around 92,000. We’re back to 2016-style activity. That’s a big shift. It means fewer coins hitting the market – down 4x since 2022. More people are choosing to hold. Less selling = stronger price floor.”

On the macroeconomic front, the global M2 money supply is growing, and it’s very possible that this will fuel Bitcoin’s fire. A chart shared by Jelle, who, let’s be honest, probably has a better handle on economics than most of us, suggests that BTC’s price often follows the M2 money supply. So if the money printing presses are on, it might just be time for Bitcoin to catch up.

Analysts Forecast Ambitious BTC Price Targets

With technical indicators pointing toward a potential $135,000 price tag by August 2025, the optimism is palpable, though it does depend on Bitcoin maintaining its current price levels and avoiding a catastrophic dip below $93,500. So yes, the stakes are high—if Bitcoin doesn’t hold steady, it could fall faster than a house of cards in a windstorm. But, hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Some more “audacious” analysts have even speculated that Bitcoin might just follow in the footsteps of gold, with estimates ranging up to $450,000 by the end of the year. These are, of course, the same analysts who think that Bitcoin’s volatility is just “healthy market dynamics.” Sure, let’s go with that. As of now, Bitcoin is sitting at a tantalizing $95,374, up 2.4% in the last 24 hours. So, hold onto your hats, folks—it’s going to be a wild ride.
