Bitcoin price remains strong above its recent breakout level
Bitcoin price is back at $58,000, up more than $3,000 in less than three hours. Reminiscent of the many rallies over the past week, Bitcoin has thus gained more than 3% on the day compared to a 1% rise in ETH over the same period, lining up a rematch of five-month highs.
As a result, those looking to short sell more than $54,260 were disappointed amid the bullish optimism. Over the past week, the recovery in cryptocurrencies has decoupled from equity markets, with Bitcoin squarely in the lead with a near 18% price rise for the month to date.
Bitcoin is currently about 10% away from an all-time price high of around $64,000, marking a sharp recovery from a near 50% drawdown (percentage decline from peak to trough) two months ago.
To forecast the upcoming situation, it is necessary to consider all the necessary indicators. Firstly, Google Trends shows that Bitcoin search interest has not picked up recently and is nearing one-year lows.
