Ken Chigbo Independent Analyst

Bitcoin price on Friday is trading in minor positive territory, attempting to breakdown the heavy supply that is seen within the early $4000 price territory. The past few sessions have been somewhat muted, as seen across the market.

BTC/USD price action has been pushing north over the past 4 consecutive sessions, gains of some 6% within the mentioned period. The price is being supported by an ascending trend line which has been running since 6th February.

The large barrier remains in and around the $4000 price territory, supply can be observed running from $4000 up to $4500 range. BTC/USD has not traded above this area since 20th November 2018, demonstrating the significance of its presence. Should the bulls be able to breakdown this area, a decent wave of buying pressure would likely follow.
