As the US market opened, Bitcoin price has started to show signs of continuing the bullish momentum. The BTC/USD chart shows that after testing the $85,000 support, BTC has now reclaimed the $88,600 resistance.
More so, BTC is now trading above its Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) at $87,894, signaling that the majority of active buyers are willing to pay higher prices rather than wait to execute their orders at market clearing prices.
If BTC closes above the VWAP, traders can anticipate an imminent breakout above $90,000 in the days ahead .
