Why is crypto up today? Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin price Analysis

Bitcoin Analysis 

Yesterday and today are days of elation for those in the Bitcoin market because the crypto is finally up, with its best performance in over a month. 

When traders settled-up at the day’s session close, BTC’s price was +$750. 

The first chart we’re looking at today is the BTC/USD 1W chart below from Mynameisnotrelevant. We can see on this chart that BTC’s price is providing bullish traders with a glimmer of hope on the weekly time frame.

Bitcoin’s price has broken above the downtrend that began all of the way back in November after BTC’s price marked its cycle high and all-time high of $69,044 on November 10th, 2021. Therefore, in 15 days it will be an entire year since BTC’s ATH was made and market participants that want to see a reversal to the upside need candle close confirmation on Sunday to imply that a larger move upward could be forthcoming.
