BTC Market Activity
Bitcoin has been stable this week between $6,400 and $6,800. The $6,800 resistance is one that we’ve monitored in the past. Overcoming this resistance may open up a rally per Bitcoin’s volume profile. This was what happened earlier in the month as Bitcoin rallied up to $7,400. Typically, we’ve seen higher price action as Bitcoin CME Futures expire so this weekend may have a spike in volatility.
