Bitcoin (BTC) saw a significant resurgence over the past few hours after hitting the lowest price since June 21 at $28,641 yesterday. At press time, BTC has experienced a 3.7% hike from its low. In fact, BTC even brushed past the $30,000 mark, indicating a substantial shift in market sentiment. So, the question begs.<\/p>\n

Why Is Bitcoin Up Today?<\/h2>\n

“The entire short build-up of the past couple days just got wiped,” tweeted<\/a> analyst Byzantine General. Data from Coinglass backs this claim and shows that BTC short positions amounting to $27.8 million were liquidated yesterday, followed by an additional $13.45 million today. This accounts for the most significant short liquidation since July 14, undeniably playing a significant role in the current price movement.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most influential reason for the sudden shift in market sentiment was MicroStrategy’s recent announcement. The company stated that it will conduct stock sales worth $750 million. After the announcement, the Bitcoin community was abuzz with speculation that Michael Saylor might make additional, gigantic BTC purchases.<\/p>\n

“As with prior programs, we may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which include the purchase of Bitcoin as well as the repurchase or repayment of our outstanding debt,” said<\/a> Andrew Kang, MicroStrategy’s CFO during a recent earnings call. While it remains unclear if the entire proceeds will be funneled into Bitcoin, the likelihood of a substantial chunk is certain. Directly after this announcement, Bitcoin surged by 1.6% within one hour.<\/p>\n

On-chain analysis firm Santiment tweeted<\/a>: “Bitcoin has breached back above $30k once again, with assistance from the many traders who capitulated during the past week of price declines. Volume is rising to kick off August, & this psychological resistance cross may shift sentiment positive.”<\/p>\n

The chart shared by the firm shows that yesterday trading volume picked up steam again, rising to the highest level since six weeks. Also, the lowest amount of profit \/ loss taking in 7 months indicates a capitulation event.<\/p>\n

Analyst @52Skew added that the Bitcoin on the Binance spot market experienced a \u201creal spot demand\u201d which he wanted to see for a strong price reaction. \u201cNote the limit bid wall that pushed up price; typical with PvP conditions to force limit chasing.

However, he also cautioned that the 4-hour chart is so far looking like a classic Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) into a higher time-frame support \/ resistance. The Swing Failure Pattern, or SFP, is a type of reversal pattern where traders target stop-losses above a key swing low or below a key swing high to manipulate the price direction by generating enough liquidity.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the market appears to be brimming with anticipation. As per @DaanCrypto: “If price starts ranging here I’d look for another sweep of the lows and consolidation there. $28.5 & 29.5K are the areas of interest.” Meanwhile, a break above the resistance zone at the monthly and weekly open between $29,236 and $29,300 would validate a bullish scenario where the price targets $30,000.<\/p>\n
