Bitcoin all-time high cues come as US-China deal sends DXY to 1-month high

Key points: Bitcoin seeks consolidation after rapid gains as stocks and the US dollar surge on US-China trade deal news. Nearby order book liquidity forms potential targets for traders, which now include $102,000. A classic moving average retest suggests that a new all-time high should result.

The US and China agreed to slash reciprocal trade tariffs on the day, causing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index to gain around 3%. US dollar strength also benefited as a result, with the US dollar index (DXY) hitting one-month highs. US dollar index (DXY) 1-day chart.

BTC price targets include $160K next BTC/USD, he noted, had conducted a successful retest of the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA). Currently at $80,300, the 50-week EMA has functioned as a springboard for new all-time highs in recent years. “We got the 1W50EMA retest and, consequently, the next leg up,” CrypNuevo explained in an X thread on May 11. “Every previous time that we saw this structure, we made a new high so the trend signals a new ATH in the making.” BTC/USDT 1-week chart with 50 EMA.
