Bitcoin, the king of cryptocurrencies, has been crossing multiple crucial resistances since the start of the year. According to CoinGecko, the coin is now up 14% in the weekly timeframe, and trading at $23,008, making BTC break through the $22,000 and $23,000 resistance levels that have limited the crypto’s ascent.
This year witnessed a complete U-turn in investor sentiment on cryptocurrencies as both Ethereum and Bitcoin reaped massive gains, along with the other top altcoins. This led to the entire crypto market to experience a resurgence in almost all aspects.
At the time of writing, the current market cap of the entire cryptocurrency market is at $1.05 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Twitter has been very bullish since the coin broke through its latest line of barrier. Analysts say that the break on the $23k wall will validate the entry of this year’s bull market, with some even targeting $100,000, or more, in the long term.
This recent price movement led to massive liquidations of short positions on Bitcoin. There are several reasons as to why this BTC broke through $23k.
