Bitcoin bulls have taken over the crypto market after weeks of consolidation surging about 20 per cent this week. The leading cryptocurrency broke past $20,000 some hours ago, marking a new all-time high past the critical technical level.
The cryptocurrency managed to trade above $23,000 after pushing even higher. Bitcoin is currently rallying parabolically, with its price correcting lower at $22,625 with the bulls expecting more.
The rise in Bitcoin price comes amid positive fundamental trends for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Price is Still Surging
Yesterday there was a significant drop in the price of Bitcoin above the resistance levels of $19,500 and $19,800. As a result, BTC broke the $ 20,000 mark to initiate a strong bullish run.
Bitcoin hit new records, setting a simple moving average above the 100 hours. The bulls were in on the action as they managed to pump the prices over $21,000 and $22,000, respectively. There was a break above the bullish continuation pattern near $19,754 and $20,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC / USD pair.
The pair is gaining momentum and recently traded as high as $23,256.92. Currently consolidating revenue and selling above $23,000. The downside is that initial support is nearing the $21,700 level. It is close to the 50% Fib correction level of its recent jump from the low of $21,251 to $22,182.

On the downside, Bitcoin prices could be around $22,200 and $22,450. Further fixes could take the price to $23,500 in the near term.
BTC Likely to Be Bolstered by Short Liquidations
One trader stated before the morning break above $20,000 that a hard pass above that level would create a sales liquidation flow which would result in a higher price for the cryptocurrency.
He stated that Binance is eager to save its underwater shorts. It is going to be a severe battle, but if $20,000 breaks, then the squeeze will be epic.
