Bitcoin fell towards $9,100<\/a> during the weekend session but recovered part of its losses heading into the new week.<\/p>\n So it appears, technical factors drove the benchmark cryptocurrency. Traders found a profitable short-term opportunity near $9,100 as trade volumes and volatility remained lower. That led to a modest rise in buying sentiment with the price going up by as much as $9,442 on Monday.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, traders took their bullish cues from the S&P 500, the U.S. benchmark index whose futures opened positive in the new week<\/a>. The E-mini S&P 500 rose 0.81 percent from its Sunday evening opening rate, hinting that the market would trend in positive territory after the New York opening bell.<\/p>\n Bitcoin, which more or less has tailed the S&P 500 since March’s global market rout, merely tailed the U.S. index’s gains. The cryptocurrency was trading 1.50 percent higher at circa $9,425 on Monday, suggesting to grow further as the U.S. market opens.<\/p>\n Bitcoin could rally above $9,500 this week as a top strategist from investment banking giant Charles Schwab sees a similar move in the S&P 500 index.<\/p>\n Ryan Frederick, the vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab<\/a>, said on Monday that the U.S. benchmark is trading above its consolidation zone, adding that he does not it attempting a pullback this week.<\/p>\n Mr. Frederick added that the S&P 500 could swell higher towards the 3,310 level. That amounts to a roughly 7 percent increase from Friday’s closing rate.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhile the S&P 500 is currently above the consolidation zone again, I won\u2019t be too concerned about another pullback until it approaches the trend line at 3,310 or so, though a pause at the 6\/8 high (3,232) on the way, would not be surprising.” \u2013 said<\/a> Mr. Frederick in a note.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The strategist based his analysis after comparing the S&P 500’s latest moves with the ones logged during the 2008-09 financial crisis. He noted that the index fell 7.1 percent between June 9 and June 11, a correction that was similar to a plunge in 2009. Excerpts:<\/p>\n “It was certainly quicker this time, but then again, so was the bear market that preceded it. However, you look at it, so far 2009 has served as a reliable roadmap for 2020.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Mr. Frederick’s statement came at a time when Bitcoin is correcting lower in a Falling Wedge pattern, as shown in the first chart above. The technical indicator also points to an upside breakout towards $11,800 if Bitcoin breaches above the upper trendline of the Wedge.<\/p>\nBitcoin price chart on TradingView.com<\/a> showing its recovery on Monday.
