Why is Bitcoin Price Up Today?

source-logo  coinpedia.org 19 November 2024 03:05, UTC

Bitcoin price is currently trading in green, hovering near the $91k levels. The bulls rallied to $92,596 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin has surged by about $30,000 since October, showing strong growth, especially in the past two weeks. However, in recent days, the price rise has slowed, leaving many wondering if this signals a slowdown, a correction, or continued growth.

However, in an important update, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has been buying Bitcoin for over four years, and today they added another 51,780 BTC, bringing their total holdings to around 331,200 BTC. This is part of their broader strategy to build a Bitcoin treasury, using equity and fixed income to raise $42 billion over the next three years, mostly to buy more Bitcoin. This might actually serve as a catalyst for BTC price.

Bitcoin Price Analysis:

Bitcoin is mostly moving sideways, while recording smaller gains. It looks like it’s forming a triangle pattern, but it’s still unclear. The main point to watch is the micro support area. As long as Bitcoin stays above this, we could see one more push higher, possibly reaching between $95k and $97k. If Bitcoin drops below that support level, the next key area to watch would be around $85k.

For now, Bitcoin’s sideways movement is actually good for altcoins, which tend to perform better when Bitcoin is either rising or falling. So, while Bitcoin stays range-bound, altcoins could continue to see volatility.

In terms of Bitcoin’s chart, it’s struggling near a trendline resistance, which could be a key factor in why it’s not pushing higher just yet. This resistance could signal a potential pullback, but there’s also a chance Bitcoin could move higher before that happens. In the long term, we might see Bitcoin continue to struggle with this resistance around $95k–$97k, but overall, the market is just in a sideways phase right now.
