Rumors about BTC Coming to PayPal Raises the Hopes of Trader

The news about Bitcoin coming to Venmo and PayPal might just be a rumor. However, some of the best-known names in the digital currency space are starting to turn bullish. According to the news, PayPal – a payment processor firm – was purportedly planning digital currency buying and selling for its 305 million users. After the news came to the limelight, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) broke over the $9,600 hurdle point.

The firm has refused to confirm its plans yet. However, social media is flooded with a wave of optimism, with many welcoming the move while pointing out its irony. For Max Keiser – the host of RT – the move seemed tied to competitive advantage. The sister firm of Twitter – Square – rolled out BTC support last year, and it achieved great success. In a tweet, he said:

“#Bitcoin’s built-in game theory strikes again. PayPal, seeing $SQ making a killing with BTC, is forced to take on BTC or suffer huge competitive consequences”

The sense of satisfaction among BTC proponents may well be warranted. Over the past few years, the payment processor has made name for itself as a cryptocurrency critic, refusing to entertain the idea of supporting the digital currency. Also, technical issues and pitfalls of being a fiat intermediary mean that the firm has become a subliminal advertisement for the benefits of Bitcoin.

Traders Are Eyeing $12k BTC

The bullish news of Bitcoin coming to PayPal has made some analysts change their outlook on the price action of the digital currency. A break over the $9,600 hurdle point increases the chances of Bitcoin returning to the five figures range. Many analysts believe if this happens, the price of the digital currency will break over the $12k mark.

In a tweet, a crypto trader – George – said that the current price level provides the last chance saloon for bears wanting to short the digital currency. He said:

“If you’re a bear, this is where you short IMO. Swept the highs right into daily supply. Clean invalidation level.”
