Bitcoin bulls want to remove a major overhead resistance level to build a $55,000 course. During the early trade hours on March 3 Bitcoin (BTC) price fell by $50,000 as bulls felt that their traction had been gained and most altcoins were joining during the rally the day.
Bullish reversal of Bitcoin
BuyUcoin Markets and TradingView data indicate that Bitcoin’s price traded at $48,500 in the early hour of March 3, before increasing by an intraday peak of 8.6% to $52,631.
Currently, BTC market trades are marginally lower than $51,000 and while $50,000 may have been converted to soft support, regular close is needed to affirm that a bullish overhaul has taken place, above the 23.6% Fibonacci tracing ($52,000).

Higher returns bring the traditional markets under pressure
Bitcoin’s rise above $50,000 has led observers to speculate that further penetration into global capital markets would lead to a new all-time peak. At present, the global markets are weighing bearish macroeconomic factors and that could reduce short-term expansion.
S&P 500, Dow and NASDAQ faced selling pressure all day and shut down 1.31%, 0.39%, and 2.7% after an increase in US Treasury yield in the 10-year period. Renaissance fears about the US and global health stocks were revived.
Steinglass said headwinds in the U.S. open market for BTC are the result of GBTC’s downsizing, as the GBTC discount has fallen down to around 4.5%. Despite these hurdles, Steinglass sees Citigroup and Fidelity’s latest favourable Bitcoin remarks as a good backing for the storey about rising institutional acceptance.
Steinglass said: It is really promising that Bitcoin appears to be strong even though GBTC works like a resistant band that holds it back, and I can see that the overall tale of speeding up acceptance remains unchanged.
Small and large-cap altcoins move higher
Bitcoin’s $50,000 pop has contributed to a surge in altcoins, with most of the top 100 currencies moving on Wednesday. Ether (ETH) won an intraday high of $1,610, compared to 15.7 to a day high of $21,18 for Cosmos (ATOM).

The sharp double-digit event tends to be the outcome of Enjin’s transformation into a rising NFT marketplace and its increasing success. The global market cap on cryptocurrencies is currently $1.55 trillion and the domination figure on Bitcoin is 61%.

Bitcoin bull run is still at an early to mid-stage
The Glassnode Reserve Risk indicator says that Bitcoin’s rally is only at the start to the middle point, according to William Clemento, a crypto-currency analyst. As explained by Clemente, the price/HODL bank is identified as the reserve risk. The measure is “used at any time to determine the confidence of long-term owners in respect of the price of the native coin.”
Therefore, if the Reserve Probability continues to be comparatively low compared to previous highs, Bitcoin is not in danger of reaching a macro top. At present, the Bitcoin Reserve Risk stands at half the amount in 2013, 2014 and 2017, when the Bitcoin Price collapsed by well over 50% and the Bear Market entered.
The CEO of Moskovski Capital, Lex Moskovski, observed as well that strong investors are increasing their Bitcoin positions. As long as Bitcoin continues to accrue from heavy hands and high-net-worth holders, the bull market will probably remain intact.
Furthermore, Bitcoin remains a compellingly strong timeframe trading structure, since it ran over $46,000 and is becoming a new strategic help. In addition, in view of Bitcoin’s volatility over the last 20 hours, the global financial market has declined significantly.
Kyle Davies, Three Arrows’ co-founder, noticed that the macro soldered globally, but as a consequence Bitcoin did not see a massive shift. For example, on 3 March, a big sale was seen by major tech stocks and favourite stocks like Tesla. As a result, most risk-on assets have fallen in tandem with global macro market weakness.
