The price via the 60-minute chart view had been narrowing for most of the day, trading conditions were very much tight. Given the price behaviour is was prone to a breakout, having formed a bullish pennant structure.

Market bulls were able to capitalize on this, which invited the most recent strong wave of buying pressure. BTC/USD jumped up to the highest levels that have been seen since 12 March, when the price had been hit at the time by some strong selling.

A daily closure above the $7000 price mark would likely be critical for Bitcoin's progress in further recovering, it could also encourage a return of more buyers back to the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
