The cryptocurrency market keeps recovering and has added another $10 billion to its capitalization since yesterday. Bitcoin (BTC) changes hands around $10,700, while some large altcoins register significant gains.
Bitcoin Price Trades Around $10,700
After yesterday’s surge in which Bitcoin topped at $10,800, the king crypto coin retraced to its intraday bottom at around $10,550. Still, the bulls cut off the price drop and led the asset upwards once again.
As far as 2020 goes, this Bitcoin increase followed the 1 to 2 percent gains registered on Wall Street at the Friday trading session. The S&P 500 – up 1.6 percent – the Dow Jones Industrial Average – up 1.34 percent – and the Nasdaq Composite – up 2.26 percent – were all in the green.
At the time of the press, BTC has dropped to $10,760 after encountering rejection at the first critical resistance at $10,790. According to analysts, in case Bitcoin price breaks above, it could head towards the next resistance at $11,000, then to the ones at $11,200, $11,360, and $11,530, respectively.
On the other hand, if the asset dips, it could depend on the support levels at $10,580, $10,440, and $10,390, if necessary.
