Bitcoin (BTC) Corrects Over the $4k Level But Needs More Traction for A Sustainable Breakout

This year has been really bearish on Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies in the market. It is one of the worst years the digital currency space has ever seen. Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies started this year at a very good level, but as the year runs out, so do the values of these digital currencies. Almost all the digital currencies in the crypto market tested new yearly lows this year. One of the major losers this year is Ethereum (ETH). Ethereum (ETH) has lost a great percentage of its value this year. Ethereum (ETH) was the second largest digital currency in the world by market cap. The digital currency held that position for a very long time. However, due to the massive plunge in the market and free fall of crypto prices, Ethereum (ETH) lost its position to XRP (XRP). XRP (XRP) took over the position of Ethereum (ETH) some weeks ago, and Ethereum is yet to reclaim its position.

The Poster Boy of the Crypto Space Is Gradually Recovering

The digital currency is now showing signs of recovery. A lot of investors and enthusiast have long been waiting for the recovery of the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) recently surged over the $4k mark, after trading close to the $3k level for the past week. The $4k level has been a hurdle point for Bitcoin.

The BTC/USD trading pair is also up by six percent and it slightly over the psychologically crucial level of $4k. Lower trading volume and low volatility are a sign of weekend trading. But for the digital currency to see any significant breakout, its trading volumes need to increase, and this may not happen considering the fact that its weekend. If the digital currency is able to break over its next hurdle at the $4,250 and $4,500 mark, it might correct higher towards the next resistance at the $5,200 mark.
