Bitcoin (BTC) broke above the $90,000 mark for the first time since March 5, as momentum indicators flash increasingly bullish signals. The latest surge comes alongside a sharp rise in ADX, a bullish Ichimoku Cloud formation, and EMA alignment favoring continued upside.
With buying pressure outweighing selling activity and ETF inflows hitting a three-month high, market sentiment is leaning in favor of the bulls. If resistance is breached, BTC could open the path toward $100,000, reinforcing its role as a hedge amid broader market uncertainty.
Bitcoin Bulls Regain Control as ADX Signals Strengthening Uptrend
Bitcoin’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) is signaling a significant shift in momentum, with its ADX rising sharply to 29.48 — up from just 15.3 two days ago.
The ADX, or Average Directional Index, measures the strength of a trend regardless of its direction. Readings below 20 indicate a weak or sideways market, while values above 25 suggest a strong trend is forming.
With ADX now nearing 30, the current move is gaining traction, confirming that a clearer directional trend is taking hold.

Looking deeper into the DMI components, the +DI (positive directional indicator) currently stands at 30.99 — nearly doubling from 15.82 two days ago, though slightly down from its 37.61 peak yesterday.
This suggests that while buying pressure surged recently, it has eased slightly in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the -DI (negative directional indicator) has dropped sharply to 10.86 from 22.48, indicating a clear weakening of selling pressure.
The combination of a strong ADX and a high +DI versus a declining -DI implies that bulls are currently in control. If the trend holds, Bitcoin may continue its upward trajectory in the short term.
Bitcoin Trend Strengthens With Clear Bullish Momentum Signal
Bitcoin’s Ichimoku Cloud chart is showing clear bullish signals. Price action is well above the Kumo (cloud), indicating strong upward momentum.
The cloud itself has flipped from red to green, signaling a transition from bearish to bullish sentiment.
The Tenkan-sen (blue line) remains above the Kijun-sen (red line), reinforcing the short-term bullish bias. The gap between them continues to widen, a sign of strengthening momentum.

Additionally, the future cloud (Senkou Span A and B) is angled upward. This suggests that the bullish trend could persist if current conditions hold.
The Chikou Span (green lagging line) is also positioned above the price candles and the cloud, confirming trend alignment from a lagging perspective.
Together, these elements point to a healthy uptrend, with no immediate signs of reversal unless a strong breakdown below the Tenkan-sen or the cloud emerges.
Bitcoin Eyes New Breakouts as Bullish Momentum Builds
Bitcoin’s EMA lines are bullish, with short-term averages positioned above the longer-term ones, signaling strong upward momentum.
Bitcoin’s price is approaching a key resistance level at $92,920. A breakout above this zone could open the door for further gains.
If buying pressure intensifies, a potential target of $96,484 could be reached, as Bitcoin ETFs are registering their biggest net inflows in three months.
The current structure suggests that bulls remain in control, as long as support levels are respected and upward momentum persists.
According to Tracy Jin, COO of crypto exchange MEXC, Bitcoin’s recent performance has been reviving its label as “digital gold”:
“Bitcoin’s recent strength in the face of market-wide volatility is reviving its long-dormant status as a “digital gold.” With U.S. equities slipping back to tariff-era lows and the dollar plunging to a three-year nadir, Bitcoin’s ability to post gains is reshaping investor perception.” Jin told BeInCrypto.

However, if the trend loses strength and a reversal takes place, Bitcoin could face a short-term pullback toward the support at $88,800.
A break below this level would weaken the structure and increase the chances of deeper corrections. The next key areas to watch are $86,532 and $83,133.
