Bitcoin breakout now echoes 2017 rally: top trader's opinion
Market analyst Jake Wujastyk has drawn parallels between the current price trends of Bitcoin and its movements back in February 2017.
Wujastyk's analysis showcases a comparison between two significant Bitcoin surges, one from February 2017 and another from October 2020.
During both periods, the premier digital currency exhibited strong surges after a phase of accumulation beneath key resistance zones.
Presently, the leading digital asset appears to be positioning itself for another upward movement, hovering just below the $68,000 mark.
Following its 2020 breakout, Bitcoin soared to a new all-time high within a few months, tripling its value in a mere two months.
As of the latest figures provided by CoinGecko, Bitcoin is trading at $67,723, with a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. Earlier in March, Bitcoin tried to break past the $70,000 barrier, although it didn't hold above that level.
Currently, Bitcoin's value sits over 8% lower than its peak price of $73,737, attained in mid-March.
Per a recent forecast by U.Today, diminished inflation could propel Bitcoin's price beyond the $150,000 threshold in 2024.
