Double Bottom Breakout Pushes Bitcoin Toward $87K; XRP, Dogecoin Bulls Take the Lead

Amid tariff chaos and market noise, crypto traders are zoning in on price action — and Bitcoin is sending a clear signal: up.

After a rocky few sessions, Bitcoin (BTC) has broken out of a textbook double bottom pattern, often seen as a bullish reversal signal. The formation, which developed between April 7 and 9 with lows near $74,600 and a temporary bounce to around $80,800, finally confirmed a breakout as BTC surged past that neckline on Wednesday.

The measured move from this breakout points to an upside target near $87,000, signaling that bulls may be back in control. As of Thursday morning, BTC was trading near $82,000.

Adding confidence to the rally is the formation of a “bullish outside day” candlestick on the daily chart — a technical pattern where the current green candle completely engulfs the previous day’s red one. This often indicates a strong shift in momentum and buyer dominance.

XRP and Dogecoin Join the Rally

Altcoins are picking up steam too. XRP jumped 14.3% while Dogecoin surged 12.7%, both flashing the same bullish engulfing candles as BTC. These moves suggest traders are rotating into higher-risk tokens amid renewed confidence in the market.

Wednesday’s rally erased much of the damage from earlier in the week, as fears over trade tensions faded following President Trump’s decision to pause most tariff hikes — except on China.

As long as BTC holds above $75,000, the bullish thesis remains intact, with traders eyeing $87K as the next major milestone.
