The current price action across the crypto market, especially when it comes to Bitcoin<\/a>, has both bears and bulls alike in disbelief. Following the longest and among the most painful bear markets yet, both sides have become accustomed to rallies being swatted down the moment any confidence in the market has returned.<\/p>\n But in recent days, shorts have piled on, while the price has only increased. Bears are being taken by surprise as Bitcoin inches closer to the $6,000 resistance level that once played important support during the first half of the bear market. The current Bitcoin price<\/a> is trading up nearly double from its 2018 low of $3,150 \u2013 does such growth suggest the bear market bottom is actually behind us?<\/p>\n Overnight last night, Bitcoin climbed higher to above $5,700<\/a> following an early April rally that sent the price of the leading crypto by market cap up by over $1,000 in the course of an hour.<\/p>\n Most traders and analysts had been expecting a pullback due to overbought indicators, bear divs, and the cryptocurrency being overdue for some consolidation<\/a> after such a powerful upward movement. Fears and uncertainty surrounding Tether and Bitfinex drama<\/a> had only added to the bearish sentiment.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Sell in May and Go Away?

Some crypto analysts attribute the buy pressure to investors fleeing the once safe-haven stablecoin Tether, selling the asset into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to send them off of Bitfinex, and away from potential risk.<\/p>\n Whatever the reasoning is for the continued bullish momentum in Bitcoin price charts, it\u2019s becoming more and more probably that the bear market bottom is behind us, and that a new bull market may be in the beginning stages.<\/p>\n If the bottom of the longest ever Bitcoin bear market is now in the past, most investors missed their chance to buy it.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/josh_rager\/status\/24768002?s=12<\/p>\n According to volume analysis below $3,400 in Bitcoin price charts, volume data shows that buyers were hesitant to buy at the extreme lows. Crypto analyst Josh Rager<\/a> speculates that most traders missed the bottom either due to fear, or because the most bearish traders were waiting for lower prices \u2013 lower prices that never materialized.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Price Has Gained On Average 77% Post-Consensus, Altcoins 161%<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin Price Has Nearly Doubled Since $3,150 Bear Market Low<\/h2>\n
