Bitcoin (BTC) Surges 10%, Reaching 9-month High
Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, broke through a major barrier on Friday during Asian trading hours. This shows that Bitcoin is still going up.
The resistance level from August 2022, which saw small gains last month, was broken, and now people are looking at the next technical barrier above $28,000.
“Bitcoin has now the possibility to ascend to the next technical milestone, which is at $28,000,” Markus Thielen, Head of Research and Strategy at Matrixport, a crypto financial services company, told CoinDesk.
Also, he said that during bigger price changes, bitcoin has risen, responded, and retested from $4,000 point increments ($16k, $20k, and $24k), from which the current breakout is aiming for $28k.
The price of BTC has gone up from $19,000 to $27,000, which is the highest it has been in 39 weeks. Analysts think that the price of BTC will keep going up, even though leverage is being taken away and the market cap of all cryptocurrencies is currently $1.14 trillion.
What is Next?
In addition to
technical indicators, the movement of Bitcoin seems to be linked to rate-sensitive technology stocks. The tech-focused Nasdaq index on Wall Street went up 2.6% on March 16, which confirmed a bullish pattern on the daily chart.
