BTC price defies $31,000

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed bitcoin price action focused on yearly highs.

Bitcoin price remained strong over the weekend, as attention focused on geopolitical events in Russia and surrounding countries.

With tensions subsiding today, curiosity about the markets’ reaction remained at the open of June 26th, with the weekly candlestick close – already a classic source of volatility – taking first place.

In the last analysis, the famous trader Rekt Capital put the “bullish scenario” for the week with a close above the pivotal $30,000 mark.

BTC rejected the $30,000 resistance in mid-April. Let’s see if $30,000 BTC can turn $30,000 into support,” another post added during the Weekend.

Fellow Crypto trader Tony remained hopeful for a trip to $32,000 next, if Bitcoin succeeds in consolidating near $31,000.

Somewhat less confident, Michael Van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, called into question the ability of bulls to sustain bullish momentum.

“Bitcoin has had a nice rally, from which it has crossed a yearly high,” he said Tell Twitter followers.

“I’m not sure if we will continue to run from here, but during uptrends you are more likely to see the price continue to go higher rather than making deep corrections. If we do have a correction, I would buy $28,500.”

Van de Poppe repeated a bearish target popular among market participants eager to “buy the dip” below $30,000.

In Turkey, where the lira has fallen to new lows against the dollar, bitcoin/Turkish lira is close to the explosive peak zone as of December 2021.
