Bitcoin surges over 20% in a week with crucial $40,000 on the horizon

Bitcoin surges over 20% in a week with crucial $40,000 on the horizon

After a tumultuous few days in the crypto markets – and a week in which the value of Bitcoin increased by 22% – things appear much calmer on Friday.

Indeed, Bitcoin’s crypto market domination is increasing as its price rises. The most valued digital currency currently accounts for about 48% of the total market capitalization of digital currencies, its highest level in around five weeks, according to CoinMarketCap.com data.

Examining Bitcoin’s price moving average (MA) over MA 7-day, MA 25-day, and MA 99-day, it appears based on the recent uptrend that if BTC were to maintain current momentum, it can break above all three lines, which would be a potentially bullish indicator.

Additionally, it is important to note that the recent selling volume has been very modest, suggesting that BTC may sustain the price gain and achieve the $40,000 level in days. Indeed, if Bitcoin can find baseline support above the key $40,000 mark, it could begin setting sights on higher highs.

On Twitter, crypto technical expert Josh Ragger reinforced the notion, stating, “It’s been a great week, but the question is can Bitcoin continue, breaking and closing above the $40,600 level will be important.”

Institutional investors are returning to cryptocurrencies, with about $2.8 billion in Bitcoin flowing out of crypto exchanges on Wednesday morning. 

Moreover, although Bitcoin’s price has experienced increasing volatility due to the intensified regulatory crackdown, mining revenue has sustained the purge and is gradually returning to profitability.

According to statistics supplied to Finbold by cryptocurrency trading simulator Crypto Parrot, Bitcoin mining revenue increased 179.4%, from $13.06 million to $36.49 million in the 30 days between June 27 and July 26. The total revenue for the first 30 days was $841 million.

Furthermore, as a result of the recent Bitcoin rise, crypto whale activity has skyrocketed. Three major BTC whale accounts transferred $1 billion in Bitcoin from digital exchange Coinbase yesterday.
