After a bearish weekend which saw Bitcoin price drop 8.76% to $9,444, the price has again reclaimed the $10K mark.
Prior to the breakout, the price was steadily moving upward, reclaiming the $9,800 support on increasing trading volume.
Over the weekend many traders expressed fear that a drop below $9,450 would solidify a bearish trend reversal but previous analysis by Cointelegraph suggested that a sharp retrace that could pull the price to the $9,500 to $8,800 zone was needed after Bitcoin's recent strong performance.
Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe also explained that above $9,450 Bitcoin remained bullish as many traders would be looking to close the CME gap at $10,460.
Today's price action brought the price back above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $9,500 and also above the 20-MA of the Bollinger Band indicator.
If the price can manage a close above $10,000 then it seems likely that traders will look to follow the CME narrative that Bitcoin price should close the recently created gap at $10,460.
Before filling the gap, Bitcoin price will need to overcome the $10,168 to $10,330 zone, which the volume profile visible range suggests could be a challenge.
Flipping this zone to support would open the door for the price to extend to the upper Bollinger Band arm at $10,500 and as discussed in a previous analysis, the VPVR shows that above $10,500, Bitcoin price could rapidly ascend to $11,000 to $11,500.
Altcoins also showed significant strength as Bitcoin's price rallied back above $10,000.
The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $290.9 billion and Bitcoin's dominance rate is 62.2%.Keep track of top crypto markets in real time here.
