Bitcoin (BTC) Aims to Break the All-Time High

Bitcoin’s march towards $5,000, and potentially higher, continues as the token makes back all of its recent China-related losses and more. BTC’s market capitalization is back above 50% of the whole cyrpto-currency market value, while the average price of BTC’s in the last 24-hours has been pushed higher by Korean Won related turnover. The average KRW-pair price – as seen at Bithumb – was $4,898.8 while the global average price for BTC trade was $4,833.9.

A look at the daily chart shows no reason for BTC not to hit, and push through, its $4,988 record high, made just five weeks ago, while the push above $5,000 will inevitably prompt a rash of headlines, both positive and negative. At the moment, unless some negative regulatory news comes out, the path of least resistance for Bitcoin is higher.
