Bull Momentum In Full Force, Experts Claim BTC Price Likely To Score 20k Before May Ends

The past weekend has been a great one for the Bitcoin and altcoins as people got to see a lot of green in the cryptocurrency market. The signs of life have bloomed into the market that signals a bullish run. Earlier this month, BTC price was struggling to rise above $6,500 mark and now with it being just a touch shy away from closing on $9,000, all the hopes have been raised high.

Other digital currencies are positive as well such as ripple which is at $0.8757. Bitcoin Cash has taken a whopping surge and is now sitting at $1,422 while coins like Litecoin, Qtum and Bitcoin Gold among others are on the rise as well.

History on the repeat

When it comes to the bitcoin dominance, its value has been dropping lately. In March, last year, the bitcoin dominance began dropping heavily that corresponds to a steady rise in the overall market.

Talking about the history, at the end of 2016, there has been a steady growth until the beginning of 2017, when there was a correction in the market. Then the slope rose and growth happened up to the March 2017 after which another correction took place that began a bull run in the market in the beginning of April, right to the mid-December.

So, if history repeats itself, we have already begun to see the change in the market. However, with the current expanse of change, the bull run is likely to be way bigger than the last one.

We are already experiencing the taste of bull run in the market as Bitcoin reaches $8,929 while Ripple comes close to touching the $1 level. Bitcoin Cash is celebrating $1,413 while some altcoins take a surge of as big as 20 percent. Moreover, BTC price is firmly being above the trend line which was initially facing the resistance at $8,500 level.
