It is now pushing towards the upper boundary of this range and may soon be able to rally past it.<\/p>\n<p>If this level is broken in a sustainable move, it could indicate that serious upside is imminent for BTC, as it has acted as a crucial resistance level for nearly a month now.<\/p>\n<p>While looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/bitcoin-topside-bias-vulnerable-4\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC&#8217;s price) in isolation, the cryptocurrency is expressing strength on both a technical and fundamental front.<\/p>\n<p>This latest upswing came about due to Square\u2019s announcement regarding their purchase of $50 million worth of BTC to be held as a reserve asset.<\/p>\n<p>This news renewed investor sentiment in BTC&#8217;s price and indicates that this could become a growing trend amongst other public companies that are looking to guard their capital against imminent inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, external forces may also boost Bitcoin\u2019s bull case, as the government is seemingly making progress on another stimulus package for U.S. citizens, which could ignite a massive bitcoin&#8217;s price stock market rally that creates a tailwind for BTC.<\/p>\n<p>One analyst is betting on this being the case.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Breaks $11,000 as Technical Strength Builds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-network-momentum-suffers-from-era-of-layer-2-dominance\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up just over 1% at its current price of $11,050, which is around where it has been trading throughout the entire day.<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency\u2019s strength has been significant and has primarily come about as a result of speculators betting on Square\u2019s decision to buy Bitcoin kickstarting a trend amongst other multi-billion-dollar companies.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto still has some serious resistance it faces around $11,200. A failure to break above this level would lead to serious downside.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Traditional Markets May Lift BTC&#8217;s Price Higher<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The global markets are trending higher today on renewed hope of a second round of stimulus, which has been held up by political quarreling.<\/p>\n<p>A Wall Street Journal reporter spoke about the potential deal that is coming down the pipeline, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KateDavidson\/status\/1314596278802812933\">stating<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNEWS: Mnuchin is preparing to present Pelosi with a $1.8 TRILLION counteroffer when the two speak today\u2026 Kudlow said this morning POTUS has approved an offer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SalsaTekila\/status\/1314602762894794753\">believes<\/a> that this will help guide Bitcoin higher in the days ahead, should the traditional markets continue rising.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLegacy looks good, BTC has been trending bullish since Thursday.
