The crypto markets continue to rally after the weekend dip, with investors developing a more bullish outlook. While the month of April has been extremely profitable for Bitcoin and altcoins, with the majority of top 10 coins up 50 percent or more, analysts have been debating the direction of the market. On one hand, bearish analysts are predicting a price retraction for Bitcoin, claiming that the market is entering overbought territory. Cryptocurrency fell throughout the majority of 2018’s calendar year, and has built a fair amount of detractors who find it difficult to believe that the asset is in for a resurgence.

North Korea is allegedly using cryptocurrency to expand its nuclear program. Using Crypto to Build Nukes?

Bitcoin Poised To See Another 10% Jump Crypto Rand, a popular trader that recently had a bit of a run-in with XRP’s fanatics, recently remarked that Bitcoin (BTC) is showing clear signs that a move higher is on the horizon. Rand’s analysis was simple but sound. Per the chart (seen below), as BTC has stagnated over the past week or so, it has entered a “bullish pennant” pattern, marked by a tightening range and higher lows. If the pennant plays out as technical analysis bibles expect, Bitcoin will soon see a massive breakout higher, potentially “over the $6,000 region” as Rand explains. This is notable, as the analyst somewhat called BTC’s previous breakout past $4,200 earlier this year.#Bitcoin looking solid here. Bullish pennant on the making.
