Cryptocurrency Market Update: Bitcoin to breakout from tight range – Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao

The CEO of Binance, the leading cryptocurrency exchange by the number of users and adjusted trading volume, Changpeng Zhao told Bloomberg on Monday that Bitcoin will soon get out of the range between $9,000 and $9,500. However, he admitted that Bitcoin has shown great resilience and stability.

Zhao commonly known as CZ reckoned that he is not sure of the factor that was going to propel Bitcoin from the tight range. He, nonetheless, added that time is of the essence, and coupled with the fiat money coming into the ecosystem, BTC will eventually breakout.

While Bitcoin continues to extend its stability, an increase in volume among altcoins is being witnessed. This has been attributed to various factors including traders diversifying their positions, developments among altcoins such as Cardano and IOTA as well as the social news surrounding assets like Dogecoin.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $9,185. Over the last few weeks, the price has been raging between $9,000 and $9,500. Some people are starting to call the crypto, ‘the largest stablecoin.’ However, technical analysis allows for tight trading ranges that give way to breakouts as described by CJ.
