Bitcoin is back. Over the past few minutes, the asset has rocketed higher past $10,000 for the first time in approximately six weeks. At the local highs, the asset reached $10,150 \u2014 and slightly higher on margin exchanges.<\/p>\n

BTC price chart from TradingView.com<\/a><\/pre>\nAccording to data shared by crypto derivatives tracker Skew.com,<\/a> approximately $50 million worth of Bitcoin short positions have been purged on BitMEX. This is the largest liquidation event in many weeks since there has been such low volatility in these markets.<\/p>\n
BTC’s price action comes as the altcoin market has undergone an explosive breakout.<\/p>\n
Ethereum is up approximately 40% in the past seven days, after managing to move above the pivotal $250 resistance. ETH, analysts say, is primed to enter a macro bull run due to fundamentals, on-chain metrics, and a strengthening technical case. Even Bitcoin maximalists have admitted that the asset looks ready to move higher.<\/p>\n
Start of a Greater Move for Bitcoin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This could be the start of a greater move for Bitcoin, say some analysts.<\/p>\n
Over an extremely short time frame, analysts are eyeing a move to $10,400<\/a>, a pivotal technical level of macro importance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe we\u2019re at a very pivotal level here. If we break above 9.7k I would expect 10.4k but I won\u2019t get overly bullish before that Lose 9.4k and I\u2019ll have my eyes on 9.2k. If that breaks, I think this will all have been a fakeout and we head to 8k Plan. Wait. React.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As reported by NewsBTC previously<\/a>, some have been even more optimistic.<\/p>\n
According to<\/a> the head analyst at Blockfyre, a crypto research firm, Bitcoin’s CME futures closed above a three-year downtrend on Friday:<\/p>\n
\u201c#Bitcoin just had it\u2019s first daily close ever ABOVE the 3 year downtrend line from ATH\u2019s when CME Futures launched. This is potentially an invalidation with a HH of any bearish case and the official start of a new macro bull trend.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The analyst who made this observation expects Bitcoin to “teleport” due to this technical occurrence.<\/p>\n
A Blow-Off Top?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This move is Bitcoin’s first major explosion higher in the past week. This is signified by this being the only surge higher that was marked by a large increase in leveraged short liquidations.\u00a0Some would argue that due to this, there’s room to rally.<\/p>\n
But as of the time of this article’s writing, BTC has failed to hold above $10,000. It finding a rejection at that level in the hours ahead may confirm that the asset remains in a range pattern, not in an uptrend.<\/p>\n
