Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed $100,000 after registering an increase of over 4% in the past 24 hours as the crypto market rallied following the release of the November inflation data.
Bitcoin (BTC) price experienced significant volatility last Thursday as it set a new all-time high before dropping to an intraday low of $92,285, briefly dipping below the 20-day SMA before settling at $97,093. However, it recovered on Friday, registering an increase of almost 3% to climb above $99,000 and settle at $99,695, ultimately falling just short of the $100,000 mark. BTC remained positive over the weekend, registering a marginal increase on Saturday and then rising by 1.32% on Sunday to climb above $100,000 and settle at $101,043.
BTC’s foray above $100,000 was short-lived, as sellers returned to the market on Monday. The crypto market’s sudden crash on Monday saw BTC dip to an intraday low of $94,177 as it slipped below the 20-day SMA. However, it recovered from this level to settle at $97,434, ultimately registering a drop of 3.57% and settling above the 20-day SMA. Sellers retained control on Tuesday as BTC fell to a low of $94,307 before settling at $96,914. The price recovered on Wednesday as markets rallied following the release of November’s consumer price index numbers. As a result, BTC registered an increase of over 4% to reclaim $100,000 and settle at $100,900. The current session sees BTC marginally down as sellers look to push it below $100,000.
If sellers retain control, BTC could slip below $100,000 and drop to $97,000, where the 20-day SMA could prop up the price. On the other hand, if buyers regain the upper hand, BTC could climb to $105,000.
