Bitcoin is finally above $27,000
Bitcoin’s price witnessed a price correction on 9 October that pushed the coin’s price way below $27,000. But, after a few days’ wait, BTC’s price witnessed a sharp uptick. In fact, according to CoinMarketCap, BTC was up by more than 3% in just the last 24 hours.

The MACD displayed that the bulls might soon take over the bears. Additionally, Bitcoin’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also registered an uptick and was headed towards the neutral mark.
