Bitcoin, Ethereum Surge After Russia And Black Rock Approval

Bitcoin headed towards the consolidation phase on Friday following months of a downward trend and an epic sell-off in January.

Investors are feeling optimistic about the potential for cryptocurrencies to become a mainstream form of payment, and Russia may be helping them along. Since September, the crypto market had its longest rally as investors grew optimistic about Russia’s government and the central bank beginning to accept cryptocurrencies.

Avatrade Chief Market Analyst, Naeem Aslam, said;

For some, Bitcoin is the future, and on this front, we have learned that Bitcoin is becoming a legal tender in Russia.

The fact that Black Rock, the world’s biggest asset manager, will offer BTC trading for its clients has been seen as a positive step in promoting the broader adoption of cryptocurrency.

 

Further to his findings, Aslam added;

These are mammoth developments for Bitcoin, and looking at the price action, it seems like that the rally is about to begin, which could push the Bitcoin price towards the 100K price level.

Wednesday’s market mayhem was not enough to stop the bulls from ripping off another victory. One of the more notable performances was Unus Sed Leo. The coin bucked trends by nosediving 13% on 60% of Wednesday’s rampage.

The Crypto markets are in support of January’s losses as more coins recover from big falls. In the meantime, Decentraland and Zcash eased 1.8% and 5.3%, respectively.

Bitcoin Price is Stable Moving Forward

Bitcoin is likely to continue rising, with the price of BTC forming an ascending parallel channel on its 4-hour chart.

Bitcoin’s recent woes may be ending as demand for the cryptocurrency increases. If buying pressure continues, Bitcoin price might target a 61% Fibonacci retracement level at $45,154. Or even go higher than that toward $46,822.

When there’s a sudden increase in sell orders, Bitcoin price shoots up to first withstand at the 21 four-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA). The first whitestand sits at $43,467 before dropping towards a middle ground to reach a 50% retracement level.
