Bitcoin charted a massive weekly close, signaling a potential trend reversal. The rest of the market is also painted green.

It’s safe to say that Bitcoin had a spectacular few days followed by an impressive weekly close that could potentially spell further upside for the cryptocurrency. Not surprisingly, the rest of the market followed suit, and a lot of the altcoins are also in the green.

Bitcoin Price Closes Strong Weekly Candle

Likely propelled by a massive short liquidation streak, Bitcoin’s price skyrocketed over the past 24 hours. In fact, as CryptoPotato reported, it spiked to about $48K on Binance Futures as over $100 million worth of short positions were wiped off.

In any case, on Bitstamp, the price almost touched $40K before retracing to where it currently trades at $38K.

The price is up almost 20% in the past seven days and around 25% in the past five days – an impressive performance for sure.
