BTC Tapped $21K
After the relatively boring last week, when BTC stood primarily around $19,000, the landscape around the asset started to change late Tuesday. It first jumped from the aforementioned level to $20,000 and, unlike previous recent attempts, broke above it decisively this time.
As a result, it painted a six-week high yesterday at just over that coveted line. Furthermore, bitcoin kept climbing during the rest of the trading day and even briefly touched $21,000. This came amid reports suggesting that the Bank of Canada is about to change its stance on hiking the interest rates.
BTC failed to breach $21,000 and has retraced by a few hundred dollars to just under that level. Nevertheless, its market cap stands still at around $400 billion.
On-chain metrics have flashed two notable signs that traders need to be wary of following the latest price action.
