Bitcoin Price Prediction As Paypal Broadens Crypto Access for US Businesses And Traders Rush To Buy This ICO With Only 3 Days Left
The Bitcoin price edged up by a fraction of a percent in the last 24 hours to trade at $63,448 as of 03:22 a.m. EST on trading volume that dropped 15% to $29.75 billion.
Meanwhile, PayPal Holdings, Inc. announced that it is enabling its US merchants to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal business account. At launch, this functionality for business accounts will not be available in New York State.
The decision is the firm’s latest step to increase cryptocurrency’s utility by making increased functionality available to millions of merchants in the US.
Bitcoin Price Aims For A Breakout
The Bitcoin price has been in a sustained uptrend since the beginning of September, as the bulls capitalized on the $53,495 support to push the price up, according to data from GeckoTerminal .
However, the bulls seem to have encountered some resistance around $63,811, with BTC now trading within a consolidation phase. The markup phase and the consolidation show that the Bitcoin price has formed a bullish flag pattern.
The Bitcoin price bulls aim to sustain this bullish stance, as BTC now trades above both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs).
Moreover, the Relative Strength Index is also rebounding from the 50-midline level, currently at 51. This indicates that investors may be starting to receive buying signals as they aim for a further price surge.
If the bulls succeed in staging a bullish trend continuation, the price of Bitcoin could surge even further, as they target $68,000.
