  • Bitcoin has seen a strong push higher today that allowed its price to break above the key $19,000 level that has been so pivotal for its price action
  • This rally came about after a period of weakness that caused the crypto to plunge as low as $17,600
  • The selling pressure seen around its current price is quite intense, as $19,400 has long been a strong resistance level for the cryptocurrency
  • Whether or not it can break above this level should provide some serious insights into its near-term price action
  • A break above this level could open the gates for the crypto to see significantly further gains that potentially send it past its all-time highs
  • One trader is wary of this movement, however, noting that it could be a classic “weekend fakeout” that has led it into resistance

Bitcoin has been caught within some turbulent waters as of late, with its price plunging to lows of $17,600 earlier this week before garnering some massive buying momentum that has led its price back up towards its all-time highs.

It still has a couple of hurdles to surmount if it is to see any further momentum, with the resistance at $19,400 and $19,800 both being formidable levels that it needs to break above.

One trader is awaiting a break above these levels before he flips fully bullish.
