Why Bitcoin Price Holding Above $11,850 Is Pivotal For the Bull Case

Bitcoin has begun to move higher after a crushing correction towards the end of last week. As of this article’s writing, the leading cryptocurrency trades for $11,750, around 3% higher than last week’s lows and around 5.5% below last week’s highs.

Institutions Have Never Been More Short on Bitcoin Futures Than They Are Now

Bitcoin has been surging higher over recent weeks and months. The cryptocurrency has done so well, in fact, that it is actually the best-performing macro asset of the year — unless you count Ethereum as one. BTC’s rally this year has caught the attention of many on Wall Street. Paul Tudor Jones, the billionaire hedge fund manager, went public with his stake in the cryptocurrency this year. Others, too, have followed suit. But according to data from the CME, where most institutional traders actually transact Bitcoin (or at least derivatives),…

Altcoins Likely to Continue Rallying as Bitcoin Price Stabilizes

Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto market have seen some mixed price action over the past few days, with major digital assets showing signs of weakness while smaller market cap altcoins continue seeing bullish price action. Both BTC and ETH did place some pressure on the entire market overnight, sparking a retrace amongst most altcoins.

Analysts Think the U.S. Dollar May Bottom—and That’s Bad for Bitcoin

Bitcoin has been under pressure over the past three days after peaking at $12,500 earlier this week. Some argue that the retracement is purely based on technicals. But if you check the charts, there seems to be an evident inverse correlation between the value of the U.S. dollar (as calculated by the Dollar Index) and BTC. When the dollar rallies higher, the value of Bitcoin (and gold for that matter) has decreased. The drop to $11,500, where BTC trades as of this article’s writing, was seemingly spurred by a leg…

The support at this level has held strong in the time since, with this decline kicking off another bout of consolidation. Although in the short-term it remains somewhat unclear as to…
