BTC/USD must clear this hurdles for a sustain journey above $6,400. In the meantime, as long as the buyers keep the price above the bullish trendline, Bitcoin is likely to resume the uptrend.

Elsewhere, the CEO of the largest cryptocurrency by trading volume, Binance said while speaking in an interview with CNBC that the market according to him is still in a good position. His comments come even as cryptocurrency continue languishing below a year-long trendline. Changpeng Zhao stated:
“Compared to January [of 2018], we are probably down 90 percent. So we only have one-tenth of the trading volume compared to what we had in January. But, compared to like a year or two years ago, we’re still trading at huge volumes. Business is still okay, we are still profitable, and we are still a very healthy business.”
