Bitcoin Recovery Rally Could Quickly Climb Back To $42,000, Claims PrimeXBT Analyst Kim Chua

Bitcoin price is currently in recovery mode after briefly plummeting below $30,000. According to PrimeXBT market analyst Kim Chua, the recovery has legs and could take Bitcoin to $42,000.

To little surprise, comments from eccentric Tesla CEO Elon Musk caused the price of Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies to surge, and forced short sellers to cover their positions. The powerful move also quickly prompted FOMO from new market participants that were waiting on the sidelines for the range to eventually break.

From Below $30,000 To $40,000 In A Week

Bears have failed to push Bitcoin below $29,000, which resulted in a higher low above the last local low around $28,600. The bounce formed a bull flag pattern between $29,000 and $33,000, which resolved to the upside and pushed Bitcoin out of its few-month-long downtrend.

Bulls Show Strength Relative To Massive Move

The Relative Strength Index is confirming the move with an equal movement higher in tandem with the breakout, and the strong showing by bulls has pushed the price per BTC through resistance at $36,500. A large magnitude of short positions were squeezed, which sent the cryptocurrency nearly to $40,000 in minutes on Sunday night. But bulls might not be done yet, according to Chua.

Support Holding Could Send Bitcoin To $42,000

The market has retraced slightly after such a powerful movement, but support is holding significantly above the key $36,500 level. Chua says that if this display of “strong buying conviction” continues, more upside is ahead. If Bitcoin can continue to hold, FOMO and momentum could carry the leading cryptocurrency by market cap all the way to $42,000 where it will face the next level of high timeframe resistance.
