The last crypto bull run brought Bitcoin<\/a> into the lime light and public eye, and took the price of the digital asset skyrocketing to its all-time high price of $20,000.<\/p>\n

Yet somehow, the current Bitcoin rally<\/a> has caused the MACD histogram to become extended more so than any time during the previous bear and bull cycle, even during Bitcoin\u2019s much publicized ascent during December 2017 \u2013 prior to the hype bubble pop that led to an over 85% correction.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin MACD Histogram Demonstrates Power of Bulls<\/h2>\n

Following the early April rally that propelled the price of Bitcoin upward nearly $1,000 in an hou<\/a>r above resistance at $4,200, the cryptocurrency has once again gone parabolic, and has even reclaimed the $6,000 price level<\/a> \u2013 a price level much of the market believed would prove to be seemingly unbreakable resistance. The same price level served as support throughout most of 2018 before Bitcoin fell through it in November to its eventual bear market bottom.<\/p>\n

But now that most of the crypto market has concluded that the bottom is \u201cin\u201d for Bitcoin<\/a>, investors and traders are finally starting to shed their disbelief and thus, bullish momentum has only increased despite the leading cryptocurrency by market cap being well overdue for a pullback or at least health consolidation.<\/p>\n

The bullish momentum can clearly be seen in charts depicting Bitcoin\u2019s long-term MACD, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator \u2013 an important trend change indicator used by crypto analysts to detect shifts in momentum.<\/p>\n
