Bullish Megaphone Pattern
According to a cryptocurrency analyst, the price charts for the market leader Bitcoin are currently flashing a bullish pattern. Trader Ali Martinez said that if this bullish megaphone is indeed governing pattern behind BTC price action, we could target $34,000.
Increased Interest Rates
After a weekend surge, Bitcoin temporarily took a halt and drifted below $27,000 on Wednesday as the U.S Federal Reserve announced it was increasing interest rates by 25 basis points as part of its campaign to contain inflation. Yet by Thursday, the leading crypto asset had made up those losses.
Crypto Exchange Outflow
Martinez further mentioned that around 310,000 Ethereum (ETH) were removed from exchange wallets over the course of 48 hours according to data from crypto analytics company Santiment. In earlier trends observed such cold wallet accumulations have been seen as a bullish sign because it indicated investor accumulation behaviours.
