Bitcoin’s bullish trend continues for another day, breaking the $73,000 barrier, as several market conditions seem to favor the world’s biggest cryptocurrency. According to data, Bitcoin jumped by 6% to hit $73,544 late Tuesday, its highest market price since March 14th. With this latest price surge, Bitcoin’s October gain is up by 13%, better than the top performers in the S&P with an average 1% increase.

A Bullish Bitcoin Ahead

Bitcoin’s jump to $73,500 during US trading hours Tuesday narrowly missed its all-time high set on March 14th. However, a few developments and favorable market conditions can help push Bitcoin to higher highs in the next few days.

Firstly, Bitcoin has finally snapped its seven-month downtrend. For weeks, the top crypto has consolidated at just above the $68,000 level, and this stability motivated traders and investors to push the price.

Just this Monday, Bitcoin topped the psychological $70,000 support before getting a bigger push from inflows from ETFs and trades by whales. Many market analysts, including experienced trader Peter Brandt, set an even bolder target: Bitcoin will reach $94,00 to $160,000 soon.

Second, the price movement has liquidated plenty of short positions and effectively passed sell walls between $65,000 and $71,000. This development established a positive mood by leaving short traders on the edge. Thirdly, its industry domination is now at 60%, its highest since March 2021.
