Ken Chigbo Independent Analyst

The Bitcoin price was trading firmly in the green by some 2.7%, through the mid-point of the session on Wednesday. It has been a generally slow-moving day for Bitcoin, as has been the case for several of the major altcoin.

BTC/USD continues to show strong momentum, which has been evident since the decent recovery started from the bounce off the lows printed 14th August, down at $5861. Bitcoin via the daily time frame has seen a bullish candle with a long upper wick, with indications of that potentially being filled on Thursday.

Technically, as mentioned above, there are good signals of seeing the buying pressure into the coming session. If moving by the textbook, the wick seen on the daily time frame for BTC/USD, should in theory be filled tomorrow (Thursday), this could see Bitcoin retesting that $7000 mark. The price last traded above this level back on 7th August. Support looks pretty firm at a former supply area, $6600-6500.

Experts agree: Bitcoin nears bottom, but weak demand raises doubts

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading above $63,000 at the time of writing on Friday after rebounding from the key 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $62,000, a level widely viewed as key long-term support.
