It is clear that the bulls are here to stay. It seems that “Santa Claus” made an early visit to a market that has been in shambles for at least two months now. After the assets refreshed the 2018 lows, they have witnessed a significant bounce since the start of this week. As mentioned yesterday the market has increased significant from the $100 billion recorded on December 15 to current $135 billion at the time of writing.
Bitcoin price stays within the rising channel
As predicted using the confluence detector tool yesterday, the path to $5,000 will be an uphill task for Bitcoin. However, it was incredible to see Bitcoin break above $4,000 resistance level. In fact, the asset formed highs close to $4,200 before correcting lower towards the close of the session on Thursday. The Asian trading hours have seen Bitcoin recover from the channel support around $3,900. BTC/USD is currently dancing within the resistance and support of the rising channel. The momentum has slowed down, besides the current trend is slightly bearish as BTC/USD heads towards the short-term support at $4,000.
