Bitcoin [BTC] surprised investors last week as its price rallied by double digits. The trend sparked excitement in the market as expectations of BTC reclaiming $70k increased. In fact, if the latest data is to be considered, this possibility doesn't seem to be a long shot. CoinMarketCap's data revealed that BTC's price rallied by more than 10% in the last seven days, allowing it to sit above $67k. At the time of writing, the king of cryptos was trading at $67,115.81 with a market capitalization of over $1.32 trillion. While BTC's price action favored the bulls, Titan of Crypto, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet highlighting an interesting development. As per the tweet, BTC was targeting the upper line of its realized price. If this translates into reality, then investors might witness BTC run above $100k in the coming weeks. The possibility of that happening was likely, as similar episodes happened in the past. To be precise, Bitcoin has touched the upper line of its realized price during each and every cycle in the past. Things in terms of on-chain metrics also looked pretty optimistic for Bitcoin.
