Can BTC skip the 94K pullback and still make ATHs?

I just got a DM from someone in my 9-5 Traders community:

This is a high-level question. It shows this trader is starting to think in terms of market structure, momentum, and probabilities, not just price targets.

Let me break it down for you:

Yes, BTC can break ATHs before touching 94K

That scenario is not only possible, but it’s something we’ve seen in previous cycles. But here's the catch:

If you’re just watching candles, you’ll get faked out.
But if you're tracking the macro trend, you'll know why the move is happening — and when it’s real.

So when does BTC front-run the pullback?

If we want to see a breakout to new highs without testing 94K, a few things must line up:

1. Monthly Stochastic RSI curls up
   That’s your macro strength signal. If it’s rising, it means we’re entering a new uptrend, not topping.

2. Weekly and Daily momentum holds
   Especially weekly Stoch RSI. If it stays elevated and doesn’t roll over, that means buyers are still in control.

3. No bearish divergences on key timeframes
   If RSI, MACD, and OBV are all in sync with price, it confirms that upside moves are supported by internal strength.

4. Volume picks up with price
   If we break 110K–112K with weak volume, that’s a warning. But if we get a surge of real participation?
   Then ATHs are on deck.

If all that aligns, then yes — we could rip past 112K and enter price discovery before touching 94K.

And the 90–95K zone? That becomes the post-breakout retest level, not the pre-breakout one.

But here's the alternative — the more likely one (for now)

If any of those indicators start to roll over…

If momentum starts to fade...

If we see volume dry up near resistance…

Then you better believe the 90–95K area is going to act like a magnet.

Why?

Because that’s where the market needs to:

• Flush out over-leveraged longs

• Trap late buyers

• Reset indicators

• Rebuild support for the next leg

This is how healthy bull markets move — not in straight lines, but in phases of impulse and correction.

Here's what smart money does:

They don’t obsess over price targets.
They track trend, momentum, and liquidity.
They know that pullbacks are opportunities, not failures.
And they prepare for both scenarios: breakout and pullback.

The question isn’t, “Will BTC go to 94K?”

The question is:

This is exactly what we teach and monitor in the 9-5 Traders group.

P.S.
Momentum can change in 1 candle.
If you're not watching the right signals, you're always reacting late.
Don't wait until the top is obvious.
By then, it's already too late.
