Yesterday Bitcoin made a rapid dash to the level of $674. For a while the BTC/USD pair managed to overcome the resistance line of $670 and then the price fell back to $664. This breakthrough is a sign that Bulls are ready to take the offensive. Obviously, we will see a new wave of growth of Bitcoin price any time now.



Now Bitcoin’s price is in a new area of trader ​​interest. The reason for this is the increase in demand for risky assets. Optimism prevails on the stock markets.



The American company Alcoa Inc opened the season in the United States with a positive financial report, which gave impetus to the rise of this company and many others.
