At the time of writing the Trading View BTC timeline is filled with various price predictions informing of another price hike in the coming week, albeit if not to the $13000 mark than the $12000 mark.
Chinese market reopens
Speaking to the media a Chinese cryptopreneur Su Zhu believes that the flash rise is nothing but a bubble flash owing to the end of Chinese vacation as the market has now reopened. China has been observing extreme caution in the wake of an epidemic dubbed the Coronavirus bringing the country and Chinese New Year’s celebrations down to a major halt.
Zhu is leading a cryptocurrency investment firm in Singapore and believes that the sudden flash is nothing important but merely marking the return of the Chinese traders into the crypto market.
On one hand, in the past year, the number of retail Bitcoin addresses holding one Bitcoin has increased significantly. On the other hand, one specific analyst Alex Clay believes that the Bitcoin price would have to pass through at least three testing resistance levels before any major break through. Given Zhu’s pespective this sounds like the likely outcome in the coming weeks.
