Breaking: Bitcoin shooting higher gaining double-digits
Ken ChigboKen ChigboIndependent Analyst

The Bitcoin bulls are further extending to the north in the latter stages of the day, now holding chunky double-digits gains of some 12% at the time of writing. Momentum really picked up pace as the price shot through the $8400-500 price range.

BTC/USD is now trading up at the highest levels seen in some three weeks. The price has been running higher for some nine sessions now, gaining pace to the north, as key barriers are broken; $7000, $7500, $8000 and now $8500.

Given the strength of upside pressure being observed, it appears much buyer faith is being restored, as the price heads back towards the big $10,000 mark.
