The price of Bitcoin (BTC) just surpassed $16,000 on the fourth retest<\/a>. Yet, across BitMEX and Bitfinex, short liquidations totaled around $13 million. This shows that rather than an overheated futures-driven rally, the ongoing uptrend is organic.<\/p>\n Still, the price of Bitcoin declined by 3.5% swiftly after reaching $16,160 on major exchanges including Binance. Within two hours, BTC rose to $16,160, dropped to $15,600, and recovered back to $15,750.<\/p>\n The pullback that occurred after BTC surpassed $16,000 goes in line with the corrections Bitcoin saw throughout the past week.<\/p>\n Since November 6, within a week, the dominant cryptocurrency tested the $16,000 resistance level on four occasions. Each retest was met with a relatively large pullback, likely led by whales selling off.<\/p>\n Despite the intensifying selling pressure from miners and whales, Bitcoin managed to break out of the dreaded $16,000 resistance.<\/p>\n The key trend BTC has recorded since November 6 is the consecutive higher lows across both low and high time frame charts.<\/p>\n The term consecutive higher low means when the latest low point of an asset is higher than previous low points.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The latest correction Bitcoin recorded after its upsurge above $16,000 is still a higher low since November 8. This means that albeit a 3.5% drop likely shook off many highly leveraged traders, the bull trend is likely intact.<\/p>\n Atop the higher low formation, on-chain data shows that the ongoing Bitcoin rally is organic, which is led by real demand.<\/p>\nIt is an Organic Bitcoin Rally That is Pushing the Price Up<\/h2>\n
