Bitcoin price is proving its resilience as the world’s most popular cryptocurrency surges past the $28,000 level today, gaining 3% in the last 24 hours alone. March saw the start of the anticipated leg of an uptrend that pushed BTC to nine-month highs, leaving experts questioning what’s behind this remarkable run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin had a strong start to the year, with a 41% increase in the first three weeks, but then hit a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and pulled back to balance. This allowed buyers to step in and push Bitcoin to a nine-month high of $27,763.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Bitcoin’s aggressive momentum, analysts expect the alpha coin to further climb to $29,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, Bitcoin’s price movement is influenced by a power struggle between bulls and bears, resulting in periods of sideways movement and pullbacks to rebalance. <\/span><\/p>\n

While the current position of BTC suggests a possible extension of the rally, investors should also be cautious of bearish signals from momentum indicators, which may indicate a future correction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like previously asked on #Bitcoin<\/a>, we got the answer now as well.<\/p>\n

Are we staying above $26,800? Answer is clear; yes.<\/p>\n

This means, trend will continue to last until $26,800 is lost.<\/p>\n

When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin.

A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
