  • BTC bulls will reattempt to break $70,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) price has gapped higher this Monday morning on the back of positive sentiment. BTC price opened above $65,087 and saw support coming in from bulls, defending the level.

Bitcoin price could hold 5% uptick today as bulls target retest at $70,000

Bitcoin price saw bulls defending the intermediary black trend line at $62,576 on Friday. At the same time, the RSI started to flatline and there was a pickup in buy-volume from bulls stepping in. With the gap higher today, above $65,087, bulls are already seeing a pop higher.

BTC price has seen bulls successfully defend $65,087 with more inflows. Now Bitcoin bulls will probably sit on their hands before attempting a retest of $69,123. As the buy-side volume spikes expect bulls to even pop above $70,000, and then go for the next Fibonacci level at 38.2%, around $75,000.

BTC/USD daily chart

BTC price could see a slight dip below $65,087, as bears try to gap-fill the space below where price opened up higher from where it closed on Sunday night. Bulls will not be alarmed by this and possibly even expect there will be no gap-fill at all. Bears will back off even more after taking many losses and that will keep them out of the market. In such a scenario,, BTC price’s ascent could be even quicker, leading to a spike up towards $75,000.
