Bitcoin price bounces back to $ 50,000 on weekend consolidation

Bitcoin has held above $ 50,000 since the beginning of October – a sign of a sustained bull market for many. But its rapid collapse last weekend – in part due to significant leveraged trade – surprised some: Bitcoin valued at $ 1.79 billion was liquidated in an hour, dropping its value to about $ 47,000 on Friday.

Over the weekend, trading volumes on major centralized exchanges remained low, far from the highs a week ago when the oldest cryptocurrency fell as low as $ 42,333 on December 4th. The decline in volume suggests that the price recovery will be less sustained, meaning that it remains uncertain where Bitcoin will go when the markets in Asia open.

Some have noted a pattern in the recent volatility of the cryptocurrency and compared the price structure of Bitcoin to 2020 levels. Bitcoin’s return to $ 50,000 is bullish news for many, but it hasn’t broken the hesitation of some analysts about another possible drop or stagnation. For Will Clemente aBank’s technical analyst Pentoshi, Bitcoin needs to break through $ 52,000 to $ 53,000 to allow for another potential bull run.
