Bitcoin initiated another impressive leg that resulted in charting a fresh new 35-month high at nearly $19,000. Only a few percentages from December 2017 all-time high. The altcoins have also painted notable price pumps, including a 25% surge for Ripple.

Bitcoin Is Less Than $1K From Its ATH

Just about five days ago, Bitcoin was struggling with decisively overcoming the $16,000 price tag. However, the primary cryptocurrency went on a roll since then, which drove it to $18,500 a few days ago. This became the highest price BTC had reached since January 2018.

Bitcoin’s volatility came to play again, as the asset retested $17,400 before getting back above $18,000. The situation accelerated yesterday. BTC was hovering just above $18,000 before the bulls stepped up and drove BTC firstly to the highest price since December 2017, as of now, at nearly $19,000.

From a technical analysis point of view, before BTC eventually reaches price discovery above $20,000, it would have to fight off the resistance lines at $18,950, $19,400, and $19,660. As of now, it seems like nothing can stop Bitcoin. Alternatively, BTC might rely on $18,500, $18,200, and $18,000 as support in case of a correction.
