Why Bitcoin Could Continue to Push Higher: Analysts ExplainAnalysts remain somewhat optimistic about Bitcoin despite last week’s strong rejection after setting a new year-to-date high. One trader shared the chart below on August 23rd. It shows that during Bitcoin’s correction last week to the low of $11,400, it actually held three pivotal technical levels in a manner suggesting the trend remains bullish.

The optimism has been echoed by another trade, who also noted that Bitcoin held pivotal support levels during last week’s move lower. He thinks that BTC’s ability to do so will allow it to soon retest $12,000. Bitcoin’s reaction at $12,000 will determine in which direction this market moves for the coming week or two.

Chart from TradingView.com Somewhat Dependent on Legacy MarketsWhile BTC looks technically bullish in and of itself, there is a correlation between Bitcoin and legacy markets that should not be ignored. As many analysts have commented in recent weeks, Bitcoin is being dragged around by the U.S. dollar, which in turn affects the values of equities and precious metals. Should the dollar rally in value, BTC’s ongoing bull trend is likely to lose some of its momentum. In fact, Bitcoin to hold above $12,000 last week has been attributed to a recovery in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies.
