Another day brings more breached milestones for the crypto field as the market cap has exploded above $1.7 trillion for a new record. This comes following ATHs for Bitcoin above $56,000, Ethereum (north of $2,000), and numerous other altcoins heading towards uncharted territory as well.

Bitcoin Sees Yet Another ATH

It was just earlier this week when the primary cryptocurrency struggled around the $46,000 price tag after a sharp drop. However, the asset rapidly reversed the trend and started gaining substantial chunks of value, which resulted in several consecutive all-time high records.

Once breaking above $50,000 on Wednesday, bitcoin hasn’t looked back since. As of now, the BTC all-time high lies at $56,620 according to Bitstamp. This comes shortly after another pro-BTC engagement from Tesla’s Elon Musk.

Although bitcoin has retraced slightly since then, it still trading above $55K as of writing these lines and, perhaps more notably, its market capitalization has maintained its ground above $1 trillion.

The technical indicators suggest that BTC would have to overcome the first resistance at $56,112 and $56,600 before potentially challenging $60,000. Alternatively, the support levels at $54,500, $51,400, and $50,000 could assist in case of a price breakdown.
