May 27, 2026Bitcoin cup-and-handle chart breakout targets $220,000, but BTC price must first hold the $74,000 support area.
Bitcoin (BTC) is up roughly 30% from its Feb. 6 low below $60,000 as a multi-year bullish chart pattern suggests BTC price could rise to as high as $220,000 in the coming months.
Bitcoin’s cup-and-handle pattern targets $220,000 and above
Bitcoin price has formed a cup-and-handle (C&H) pattern on the weekly chart, suggesting that a massive upward move is still in the cards for BTC.
A cup-and-handle is a bullish continuation pattern where a rounded price recovery forms the “cup,” followed by a short consolidation inside a “handle” before a breakout.
It is resolved after a breakout above the handle's resistance line, typically signalling a strong upward move, with the price target equal to the cup's depth added to the breakout level.
“Bitcoin has just completed a multi-year cup-and-handle pattern,” technical analyst Crypto Tice said in a Monday post on X.
The analyst explained that C&H breakouts don't result in small price movements, adding that “they move hundreds of percent.”
Bitcoin price has retested the cup’s $65,000-$74,000 neckline, which must be held to complete the breakout.
Data from TradingView shows the measured target of the C&H pattern is $295,000, roughly 280% above the current price.
Earlier, reported that Bitcoin’s Decay Channel—a logarithmic price model—suggested that BTC could rally as high as $255,000 by year-end, with its 2027 target extending to $308,000.
Trader VeLLa Crypto says the BTC/USD pair “must hold” the $74,000 support area first, to boost its bullish outlook.
As reported, a break below $74,000 would suggest the bears are back in control, invalidating the medium-term bullish outlook for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin spot volume collapses 81% on Binance
Bitcoin’s spot volume has now fallen to levels typically seen during bear markets, data from CryptoQuant shows.
The chart below shows that the trading volume on Binance has dropped to $36.4 billion, 81% below the $198.6 billion recorded in October 2025. Gate.io has also seen a massive 79.6% drop in volumes, while Bybit is down 66%.
“This development primarily reflects a macro environment that has been unfavorable for risk assets, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said in a Tuesday QuickTake post.
The decline in trading activity can also be “interpreted constructively” as it suggests that the” selling pressure behind the current retracement is gradually losing momentum.”

Developcoins Market View
Bitcoin sentiment remains bullish as the multi-year cup-and-handle breakout points toward possible $220K–$295K targets. However, BTC must hold the crucial $74K support level. Falling exchange trading volumes may indicate weakening selling pressure, but overall market direction still depends on macroeconomic conditions and investor confidence.
