Bitcoin Looks Strong

As Coingape reported, Bitcoin price rose beyond $48,000, with high odds of breaking $50,000, which corresponds with a notable $405 million flow into Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday. The sentiment is higher as signaled by the Fear and Greed index value of 74 (greed).

Crypto stocks such as Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) opened over 6%, and Robinhood Markets (HOOD) up 2% amid BTC price rally, closing much higher. Coinbase closed 7.12% high at $141.99 and MicroStrategy closed 9.95% high at $646.32 on Friday.

BTC price is trading at $47,308 paring some gains due to profit booking by traders in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $46,136 and $48,152, respectively. Furthermore, trading volume has increased by more than 30%.

Traders, especially in the U.S., anticipate a continued rally until the US CPI data release on February 13. Top analyst Michael van de Poppe predicts BTC price to hit $55K before Bitcoin halving at this pace. He added that there is apparent resistance at $49-51K, but confirms it’s a bull market.
