Bitcoin Meets Acceleration Zone As It Breaks Above $26K! Will BTC Price Hold Its Uptrend?
The post Bitcoin Meets Acceleration Zone As It Breaks Above $26K! Will BTC Price Hold Its Uptrend? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Amid intense volatility in the crypto market, Bitcoin has once again proven its resilience and adaptability. The leading cryptocurrency has broken above the $26,000 mark, entering what many analysts refer to as the ‘acceleration zone’. This surge in price comes amid a wave of bullish energy sparked by BlackRock’s plan to introduce a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Bitcoin’s recovery trend comes at a time when the SEC is intensifying its scrutiny of the crypto market.
Bitcoin Is Poised For A Massive Boost
On June 14, 2023, the Federal Reserve’s FOMC held interest rates steady at 5-5.25% following ten successive hikes. The next day, the ECB announced a 0.25% increase in its three key interest rates, effective June 21, 2023. These developments triggered a sell-off in Bitcoin, pushing it into a three-month low.
However, BTC price quickly recovered from its bottom levels, sparking another bullish sentiment among traders. Bitcoin’s market dominance has reached its peak since July 2021, indicating a renewed interest in the leading cryptocurrency among traders and investors.
Recent TradingView data shows that Bitcoin’s dominance, its proportion of the total cryptocurrency market cap, has reached a high of 49.8%. This is a level not seen since July 2021, when Bitcoin’s dominance exceeded 48%.
It’s noteworthy that Bitcoin’s dominance briefly hit 48.83% in April this year, after which it oscillated within a certain range.
Moreover, BlackRock’s involvement in Bitcoin could attract institutional investors and foster broader cryptocurrency acceptance, considering its management of over $9 trillion in assets. The ETF’s structure and BlackRock’s reputable standing could provide traditional investors with a regulated avenue to Bitcoin, significantly boosting its price in the upcoming weeks.
What’s Next For BTC Price?
Bitcoin is currently showing a massive bullish candle after breaking above the EMA20 trend line and surging past the $26K resistance level. As the price witnessed a recovery from its bottom region, it suggests massive whale activity near the dip. Currently, BTC price trades at $26,437, surging over 5% in the last 24 hours.
BTC price has hovered between the 20-day EMA and the key support at $25,250 recently, implying that while bulls were buying on dips, bears were maintaining their advantage.
The surging EMA lines suggest intense bullish dominance with the MACD trend line hovering near a positive region. The RSI indicator has witnessed an exponential surge in the last few minutes as it surged above the midline and is currently attempting to enter an overbought region.
If the BTC price surpasses the immediate resistance at $26.6K, it would suggest further buying activity. A breakout above $27,343 will push the price to its next resistance of $28,090.
Conversely, if the price drops from its current position and falls below $25,550, it would imply that bulls are retreating. The BTC price could initially drop to the channel’s support line and potentially to the significant $20K mark.
