Claim $500Bitcoin price reclaims $14,000 and why $15,000 is imminently achievable
- Bitcoin bulls are eager to establish strong support above $14,000.
- BTC/USD has a relatively smooth path to $15,000 according to on-chain metrics like the IOMAP model.
The flagship cryptocurrency resumed the uptrend, blasting above $14,000 for the third time in less than seven days. BTC/USD extended the bullish leg upwards, trading new yearly highs around $14,270. The breakout occurred amid rising tension ahead of the United States presidential election results. It is likely for the stock market to crumble if Joe Biden wins. On the other hand, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies stand to gain amidst a bleeding stock market.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is changing at $14,180 as bulls fight to sustain the uptrend and close in on the coveted $15,000. The price holds above an ascending parallel channel, which gives credence to the bullish outlook.
Bitcoin bulls are mainly in control at the time of writing, as highlighted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). However, a low trading volume suggests that price movement will be gradual or limited in the near term.

IntoTheBlock’s IOMAP reveals the lack of a strong resistance towards $15,000, which means that Bitcoin has a relatively smooth ride towards $15,000. On the downside, the bellwether cryptocurrency is sitting above an area with immense buyer congestion.
For instance, the most robust anchor runs from $13,286 to $13,711. Here, 1.4 million addresses had previously bought nearly 917,000 BTC. Therefore, it is doubtful that BTC will plunge massively in the coming sessions.

It is worth mentioning that the bullish outlook will be invalidated if Bitcoin slides back into the ascending channel and fails to secure support above $14,000. Bulls are eager for revenge could also increase sell orders creating enough volume to pull Bitcoin to the next critical support at $13,600, as shown by the 50 SMA.
