A Healthy Retracement Rules the Bullish Momentum in BTC Price
Under the influence of a falling channel pattern, the Bitcoin price witnessed a steady correction for the past four weeks. The downtrend tumbled the coin value from $72756 to $56500 registering a 22.34% loss.
However, the correction trend reverted above the 50% retracement level as the BTC ETFs witnessed a positive inflow on Friday. The positive turnaround surged the price by 13.2% to currently trade at the $63987 mark.
This upswing gives a breakout of the resistance trend of the falling channel pattern signaling the end of the correction trend.
