In brief:
- June 1st has found Bitcoin valued at $9,550.
- Its current value is a gain of 50% from its April 1st value of $6,300.
- Bitcoin has officially recovered from the Coronavirus crash of mid-March.
- All eyes are on $10,000 as we usher in a new month.
When Bitcoin dropped from $9,100 to $3,700 in mid-March, many traders and investors believed BTC was headed to lower levels of even $1,200. The panic from the rapid spread of COVID19 had affected traditional stock markets that resulted in a domino effect of aggressive selling even in the crypto markets. However, less than 3 months after the crash, Bitcoin has fully recovered from the drastic dip in mid-March.
Bitcoin (BTC) is Up 50% in Q2 of 2020
Further doing a quick analysis of Bitcoin’s performance in the second quarter of 2020, we realized that the King of Crypto has increased in value by exactly 50%. April 1st found Bitcoin trading at $6,300. At the time of writing this, BTC is trading at a very strong support zone of $9,570 (Binance rate). Doing the math, BTC has increased in value by 50.79% since that first day of April.

$10,000 Per Bitcoin is less than $500 Away
Further analyzing Bitcoin’s performance over the weekend, BTC briefly dipped to around $9,300 only to bounce back up to $9,500. Bitcoin is trading at $9,570 at the time of writing this. This value is only $430 away from the bullish psychological price level of $10,000.
Late last week, the creator of Bollinger Bands, John Bollinger, hinted at Bitcoin breaking this level and continuing on an upward trajectory. Mr. Bollinger is a legendary trader and his statement was via the following tweet.
If $BTCUSD crams some wax in its ears, and so misses the Siren’s song, we could see a nice rally here as the psychological resistance at the round number gets torn out.

Additionally, a while back, popular Bitcoin and crypto analyst, MagicPoopCannon, had postulated that Bitcoin was on a path of breaking a two-and-a-half falling trendline. If Bitcoin broke to the upside, BTC could retest its 2018 high of $17,200. The chart below by Magic further provides a better visual elaboration of his analysis.
Conclusion
In conclusion, and as we usher in a new month, there is a sense of optimism surrounding Bitcoin breaking the bullish psychological price level of $10,000. Only time will tell if we are indeed in a bullish cycle and BTC will go on to exceed expectations.
