Bitcoin (BTC) is now showing signs of vigor, after weeks of being smothered in crimson, and drilling past the $21,000 level, to the delight of some crypto investors.
As of this writing, the most sought after crypto asset is trading at $22,200, up 13% in the last seven days, data from Coingecko show, Friday.
BTC reclaimed the $20,000 threshold on Wednesday, seven days after going below it. The cryptocurrency is trading at less than 70 percentย of its all-time high near $69,000, but is currently far above its mid-June selloff low of $18,000.
Friday, the market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies increased by about 2 percent over the previous day. On the same day, the global crypto market was valued at $919 billion.

Bitcoin Green Day โ On To The Next Support
The volume of the cryptocurrency market, on the other hand, decreased by more than 18 percent over the past 24 hours, according to statistics from Coingecko. Fridayโs crypto market volume was estimated at $55.25ย billion.
According to Harris Financial Group Managing Partner Jamie Cox, the โGreen Dayโย on the markets comes in the wake of rising unemploymentย claims in the U.S., which could indicate that theย โpressure on wages may have now peaked.โ
After a transition above the $20,500 level, the price of BTC began a steady ascent and tested the $22,200 mark, where it encountered selling interest and proceeded to $22,100.
The next significant support is close to the $21,500 territory, below which the priceย may fall to the $21,200 level. The next significant resistance level is near $22,500; over this level, the price might climb to $23,000.

According to him, BTCโs break of the $22K barrier is the latest in a string of โfakeoutsโ that will mislead many traders into assuming the bottom has been reached, despite the fact that the trend remains unfavorable.
