Bitcoin (BTC) broke through the $70,000 resistance level, climbing to a high of $70,024 in a move that represents a 4.55% gain over the last 24 hours.
The price action was confirmed by market data from crypto exchange HTX, which recorded the peak price at $70,023.65 as of 10:00 UTC.
Breaking the significant psychological barrier at $70,000 could lead to increased speculative buying and invalidate recent bearish outlooks. The move comes after a period of range-bound trading where funding rates for perpetual futures had cooled, suggesting the market was not overly leveraged.
With this key resistance cleared, traders are now eyeing a potential rally toward new all-time highs. Positive momentum for Bitcoin often has a spillover effect, boosting sentiment across the broader cryptocurrency market and potentially lifting other major assets like Ethereum (ETH).
