Bitcoin started the fourth quarter with a breakout after gaining more than 15% in the past 36 hours. The largest cryptocurrency in the market has broken the $ 45,000 resistance, potentially hitting higher highs in the near future.

Bitcoin enters a bull run

Bitcoin erupts. The price broke $ 48,000 this morning and appears to be heading towards $ 52,000.

BTC recently consolidated for over 6 weeks. The graph shows how the asset formed a falling wedge during the stagnation phase that began on August 19th. However, the start of the final quarter of the year may have encouraged investors to buy.

The rise in buying pressure completely stopped the downtrend, pushing Bitcoin above the upper trendline of the wedge, causing a trend reversal. A higher high is possible with the recent breakout.

Measuring the y-axis height of the wedge shows that Bitcoin is likely to rise to 15.5%. Such a bullish target would push BTC down to around $ 52,000.

Bitcoin’s price development shows USD 50,000 as a psychological resistance barrier. Price couldn’t break such a downtrend barrier all year after hitting it. Given the importance that market participants attach to this benchmark, a critical closing price above it would be a strong sign that BTC is poised to continue to bounce back.

After $ 50,000, the next key level is the target of the wedge at $ 52,000. Further buying pressure could push BTC towards the critical resistance level of $ 54,400. Breaking this price point will result in a continuation of the uptrend towards USD 100,000.

However, a $ 50,000 denial could cause BTC to drop to $ 45,000.

$ 270 million short-term order liquidated
