This became possible earlier this month following the ceasefire announcement between the US and Iran, and is the \u201cpivot point for the current trend,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez remains bullish for a major breakout toward $96,000, where the next big resistance is located that capped the asset\u2019s price moves in January. It\u2019s possible as long as BTC remains above the $73,700 level, while a breakdown below it would invalidate the bullish scenario.
