Falling Wedge Breakout Propels Bitcoin Price Above Key Resistance at $9.2K

Within the past few hours Bitcoin (BTC) price managed to press through the $9,200 resistance level to $9,281. While the 2.58% gain may not be much to talk about, the move above the key resistance level is a step forward and the initial move to $9,180 closed the CME gap from last weekend.

Since dropping to $8,640 on May 25, Bitcoin price has gained 7% and this occurred as the S&P 500 and Dow both rallied higher this week. 

On Wednesday both indexes broke above their 200-day moving average, nearly reclaiming all of the losses caused by the coronavirus-driven correction that started in March. 

The sharp rallies in both markets also led analysts to suggest that the Dow is now “on track for its best week since the week ended April 8.”
