Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) rose to $17,000 on Tuesday in response to the Bank of Japan’s latest financial policy. BTC/USD hit a record high of $16,837.65 in the early hours of the day’s trading, which was about 24 hours after the token had hit its lowest point of $16,398.14.
The move sent the token higher than $16,700 as resistance, and prices rallied to a 4-day high.
Looking at the chart, it is apparent that the rally happened as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossed the 46.00 threshold. At the moment, it is at 46.61, its highest point since last Thursday.
If the bullish trend continues in the index, it is likely that BTC will ascend higher than $17,000 in the upcoming days.
