After making investors wait for quite some time, Bitcoin [BTC] finally registered green on its chart. It was interesting to note that the coin’s price gained upward momentum after it slipped below a key supply zone.
Let’s dive deep into the blockchain’s health to see what helped BTC display this bullish performance.
Bitcoin is rising again!
Bitcoin’s charts remained red for several weeks as its price moved sideways. Thankfully, things changed in the recent past as a trend reversal took place.
According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was up by more than 4% in the last 24 hours alone.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $42,942.56 with a market capitalization of $840 billion. A bullish development was that the price hike was accompanied by a rise in BTC’s daily trading volume.
Right before the king of cryptos’ gained bullish momentum, it slipped below a key supply zone.
Ali, a popular crypto analyst, recently pointed out in a tweet that BTC went below a supply zone ranging from $41,200 to $42,400. He mentioned that this could increase selling pressure on the coin.
#Bitcoin has slipped below a key supply zone, ranging from $41,200 to $42,400. In this area, 1.87 million addresses had accumulated 730,000 $BTC.
This downturn might trigger these holders to sell, aiming to cut losses.
