Bitcoin Marks First Green Weekly Close After Two Months In The Red

Bitcoin has seen multiple consecutive weeks of red closes. For the past two months, the most popular cryptocurrency has seen nine consecutive weeks with red closings. This had caused a bearish picture for bitcoin. It seems that the tide is turning as bitcoin ended its long streak. BTC reached its first weekly close for more than two years with a high of $30,000 Monday morning.

Bitcoin has brighter days ahead

Although bitcoin’s price has shown some improvement, this does not erase two months worth of bearish trend. It does not necessarily signal a bullish trend for digital assets, but it is the first in a long string of reds. However, it shows that investors’ sentiment has begun to improve. Although the buyers will still dominate the market in the coming week, it’s possible to see positive inflows.

What exchange inflows say

Bitcoin market inflows reflect the optimistic sentiment returning to the markets. Glassnode data shows that in the past day there has been $6.6 billion of Bitcoin moving to exchanges, while $7.9 trillion was moved out. The net result is negative $1.3 billion. This indicates that investors are more inclined to accumulate than sell offs.
