These 3 Reasons Are Why Bitcoin’s Price May Soon Explode Past $10,000
#crypto #bitcoin
Over the past month, Bitcoin (BTC) has absolutely exploded higher. In fact, the cryptocurrency is up around 40% since the low of $6,400 put in during December of last year. While many analysts have said that this jaw-dropping rally constitutes a macro reversal that will thrust BTC back into a decisively bullish phase, some aren’t so sure. In fact, a number of commentators have suggested that the crypto market’s current price action is eerily reminiscent to that of the middle of July of 2018, which saw Bitcoin see a false bear market breakout to only crash by 50% months later.

Secondly, BTC in December decidedly bounced off the key $6,400 macro support level, which has been a level of utmost importance since early-2018, in December on high buying volumes. And lastly, the block reward reduction for Bitcoin, which will decrease the inflation rate of the cryptocurrency by half, is on the horizon (May 2020). This event has been found to be correlated with upswings in the market. A good mate asked for my take on $BTC The monthly chart says it all: 1. Price decline + volume decline = Bullish2. Volume backed bounce off strong support = Bullish3.
