Altcoins soar after Bitcoin bull finally presses the price above the $35,000 resistance

After trading in a range between $35,300 and $33,850, BTC climbed 6.65% from a low of $34,200 to an intraday high at $36,509. So, Bitcoin price pushed through the $35,000 resistance level and lifted the total market cap up to $1.45 trillion. This leads traders to expect a rally to the $38,000 to $41,000 level if BTC can flip the $35,000 level into support.

Traders have now set their sights on the $41,000 resistance level as the next obstacle to overcome in the short term. In it, John Wick, full-time options trader of 16 years, said that “our first GREEN BAR printed”,

“Move started with a Confirmed Topping signal with Bearish RSI divs. That brought us down to a Confirmed Bullish Reversal with Bullish RSI divs & Bullish RSI momentum. Finally, we have gotten a green bar”, he added: “Next resistance $41k!”
