Bitcoin has been able to hold onto most of its recent gains and has secured its position above the important $5,000 mark. Despite this, BTC does appear to be treating $5,200 as a level of relative resistance, and it is unclear as to whether or not the crypto will be able to garner enough buying pressure to propel it above this level in the week to come.<\/p>\n
Although it remains unclear as to what may be the flame that sparked Bitcoin\u2019s recent surge, one possibility is that growing hype surrounding BTC\u2019s upcoming halving event could be adding fuel to the recent gains.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up 1% at $5,140, up from its 24-hour lows of roughly $5,000 that were set late yesterday evening. Bitcoin is currently trading just a hair below its daily highs of $5,200, which has proven to be a tough level for the cryptocurrency to break above.<\/p>\n It is important to note that the cryptocurrency is rapidly approaching its recent highs that were set earlier this month when it surged to $5,300 \u2013 although it currently remains unclear as to whether this price level will prove to be a region of resistance.<\/p>\n Crypto Thies, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, recently shared his thoughts on BTC\u2019s current price action, explaining that he sees $5,500 as the next level of substantial resistance that Bitcoin will face in the near future.<\/p>\n \u201c$BTC Quick thoughts: Supports @ $4.7k & $4.3k.
