Bitcoin

Bitcoin made gains yet again today. After a great weekend, not many people expected a sudden increase in price. However, Bitcoin went above its upside resistance level of $8,165 and went as high as $8,500. However, its price is now stabilizing below this level. Its next upside target is $8,630, but the target seems unlikely to break in the short-term.


Bitcoin’s volume was descending steadily but had a major spike during the uptick. Its RSI instantly went up to the overbought territory on the 4-hour chart.
