Just hours after our last market update<\/a>, Bitcoin has topped $10,000. This is the first time the cryptocurrency has done this in over seven weeks.<\/p>\n

After holding $9,400 for all of Wednesday, the cryptocurrency surged higher over the past few hours, passing resistance after resistance in the $9,000s, culminating in the surge past $10,000 just minutes ago.<\/p>\n

This latest move may not be that notable in percentage terms but analysts say it\u2019s important from a technical standpoint. One trader, in fact, commented that once Bitcoin decisively clears past $9,500, he doesn\u2019t see \u201cmuch stopping us\u201d until $10,500.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Is Readying for More Upside\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While there remain bears, the majority of analysts believe that Bitcoin is on track to rally in the short to medium term.<\/p>\n

A top trader indicated yesterday<\/a> that there’s a good chance BTC could hit $10,700 in the coming week. As to why the trader, who called Bitcoin’s 2018 bottom six months in advance, thinks this is the case, he explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI might be wrong but something that\u2019s been bugging me is how some of the stronger altcoins like ADA\/USD ook mad bullish but ADA\/BTC looks like trash, so I kind of feel BTC is going to go on a face melting move soon.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To corroborate this, the MACD, Parabolic SAR, and moving averages have all signaled that bulls have strength on a weekly timeframe.<\/p>\n

Whales seem to be preparing for more upside as well.<\/p>\n

Citing data from Glassnode, Willy Woo on May 5th noted<\/a> that the population of large Bitcoin holders (1,000+ coins) has increased strongly since January\u2019s lows. This indicates these users have been in \u201csolid accumulation mode,\u201d which is a \u201cmacro bullish\u201d trend:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhale population spotted increasing in the wild. They\u2019ve been in solid accumulation mode since January unperturbed by the COVID crash. This is macro bullish,\u201d Woo said in reference to the chart below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
