Bitcoin
Bitcoin is up by a strong 14.8% this week as the cryptocurrency continues to set new ATH prices today. Last week, it was battling with the resistance at $48,570, provided by a 1.414 Fib extension level.
This level was only penetrated on Tuesday, which allowed Bitcoin to push higher into resistance at $52,365. It stalled here for a couple of days until breaking higher today to set the new ATH price.
