Bitcoin Takes a Breather After Hitting $15,960
Bitcoin’s latest surge on November 5th saw the price skyrocketing to a new high of $15,960. Since then, it seems BTC has decided to take a little siesta, perhaps checking its watch and pondering how to make that big leap back toward the mystical $16,000 mark.
Price Compression and Important Support Levels
On both the 1-hour and 4-hour charts, Bitcoin is showing signs of compression within a bullish flag formation. Throughout the trading day, a significant support level at $15,500 has been valiantly holding its ground. But for Bitcoin to become ambitious and reach for $16,000, it will need to clear the $15,750 hurdle first.
Traders Eyeing Breakouts
In the latest hour, a dragonfly doji candle made its appearance—a sure sign traders are holding their breath. Following a dip to the lower support of the flag at $15,166, the stage has been set. A successful breakout above $15,600 could indicate that BTC is ready for yet another flirtation with the $16,000 milestone.
Analyzing the Recent Price Movements
With the RSI climbing above 70, things are looking bullish, but daily trading volumes seem to have taken a nap post a $15,900 surge. A drop below the flag support at $15,100 could spell trouble, opening the gates to potentially revisiting $14,680. A swift descent is always nerve-racking but let’s be real, who among us hasn’t taken a tumble after first high-fiving?
Altcoins Deciding to Join the Party
As Bitcoin figures out which way to go, several altcoins have cautiously emerged from their shell. Ether (ETH), in particular, seems to be showing off, attempting to break through resistance at $450, while Yearn Finance (YFI) has impressively rallied over 30% to around $11,100.
Meanwhile, Uniswap’s UNI token is watching the show and decided to join in, adding 15.5%, trading now at $2.53. According to estimates, the overall cryptocurrency market cap is at a whopping $444.6 billion, with Bitcoin holding a commanding 64.7% dominance in the arena. Who knew the crypto market could be as dramatic as a soap opera?
