It hasn’t touched this mark since January 5. Analysts say technical indicators are bullish and support the continuation of an upward movement. The world’s most popular cryptocurrency is showing strong signs of a longer-term bullish reversal. But it is trading inside a short-term corrective pattern.

According to TradingView data, bitcoin has been trading inside an ascending parallel channel since March 7. But presently, its changing hands, just under the resistance line of the channel. A breakthrough here would confirm a bullish trend.
