Bitcoin price today exceeded the $52,000 level, continuing its ascent. The rise in price has been particularly nightmarish for those holding short positions. The unpredictability of BTC’s trajectory requires investors to be cautious, as price increases force short position holders into liquidation.
Massive Short Liquidations as Bitcoin Price Rises
Comments are drawing attention to the increase in Bitcoin price being supported by a significant capital inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest daily entry on February 13th, with $631 million.
According to Coinglass data, over $73.82 million in short positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours. On the other hand, an important development this week for Bitcoin, the flagship of cryptocurrencies, occurred in its market value. Accordingly, the market value of the cryptocurrency BTC has once again surpassed $1 trillion.
Is There Resistance in Bitcoin Price?
The cryptocurrency Bitcoin’s price seems set to continue its rise. Bitcoin faces no significant resistance on its path to the previous high of $69,044. Bitcoin has surpassed the $52,000 level. In the event of a correction in Bitcoin, the price has support in the region between $45,623 and $46,738.
On the other hand, the green bars in the MACD metric indicate the potential for the continuation of the uptrend. Therefore, there is potential for the Bitcoin price to continue rising towards its previous all-time high.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Contribute to Price Increase
Bitcoin’s gains are likely being catalyzed by expectations surrounding the halving event set to occur in April 2024. Another significant catalyst could be the dollar inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs. On February 13th, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw an entry of $631 million.
As of writing this article, Bitcoin price is trading at $51,877. Although breaking the $52,000 mark suggests a slight pullback for Bitcoin, optimism towards the cryptocurrency is expected to drive the price even higher. Analyst Michael van de Poppe indicated today that the price of Bitcoin, the flagship of cryptocurrencies, could reach the range of $54,000 to $58,000.
