 <p>Analyzing the one-hour chart of Bitcoin, it is evident that the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency tested multiple resistance levels. BTC managed to surpass $29649, $29836, and $30,000. While it has successfully broken the first resistance level, it still needs to breach the other two once again to continue its upward trend. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index [RSI] indicator showed that BTC was being overbought. Currently, buyers were still residing in the BTC market which is considered a bullish signal. </p> 
 <p>The abrupt surge in Bitcoin’s price was linked to MicroStrategy’s recent action. The largest corporate holder of Bitcoin revealed its intention to generate funds of up to $750 million through a stock sale. However, the underlying reason for the sale is speculated to be the driving force behind the recent upward movement in the Bitcoin price. This is because the price of Bitcoin increased by nearly 2% immediately after the announcement.</p>
