Bitcoin holds to $8K after testing higher grounds: $10K in sight

Just a month ago, very few voices in crypto were as optimist as to imagine that Bitcoin would now be back to price levels of May of 2018. However, over the last hours new year highs have been set in play by the first crypto according to its market cap.

As the graph below displays, which charts the price of Bitcoin against USDT on Binance, after breaking the $8,000 range yesterday from the first time since May of 2018, Bitcoin took a sudden downturn of almost 10% which made many traders believe that the bull run was over. However, since the earlier hours of today, Bitcoin has retaken its upwards trend and now it seems to have gained hold over $8,000 after quickly breaking over $8,300.

Even though inferring future movements from past performance is not always the best of ideas, the pattern followed by Bitcoin in the last hours remembers the one of last weekend, when it took a downturn back to the high $6,000 range after breaking for the first time since 2018 the $7,000 barrier, only to continue on its climb a day later.

Crypto Twitter has been greeting the new trading range of Bitcoin with most posters welcoming the good news after a long, but apparently gone, bear market.
