Bitcoin (BTC) has finally surpassed a key resistance that limited recovery rallies earlier this year, after rising over 5% to $93,500 in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The leading digital asset by market value has topped the “Ichimoku Cloud,” confirming a bullish shift in momentum, while other major cryptocurrencies lag.<\/p>\n

The Ichimoku cloud, developed by a Japanese journalist in the 1960s, is used to identify support and resistance, momentum, and trend change in price actions. The indicator comprises five lines: Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and the gap between the two representing the cloud, Conversion Line or Tenkan-Sen (T), Base Line or Kijun-Sen (K), and a lagging closing price line.<\/p>\n

Crossovers above and below the cloud represent bullish and bearish shifts in the market trend, and BTC has moved above the cloud, as seen in the chart below.<\/p>\n

The bullish breakout means the cloud can now act as support, arresting potential price pullbacks just as it acted as resistance<\/a>, capping recovery rallies in February and March. BTC is also back to trading above the widely tracked 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs).<\/p>\n

This move now puts the focus on the resistance at $100K, a major psychological level, followed by record highs above $109K. Meanwhile, support is seen at $88,550, which marks the convergence of the 200-day SMA and the Ichimoku cloud. <\/p>\n

A move below the same would negate the bullish outlook.<\/p>\n

Bitcoins Altcoins lag<\/h2>\n

Major altcoins such as payments-focused XRP, leading meme token DOGE, Cardano’s ADA, Ethereum’s native token ETH, and Solana’s SOL are yet to chart a BTC-like bullish breakout above the Ichimoku cloud.<\/p>\n

The above coins, though buoyant alongside BTC’s ascent, have yet to make their respective bullish breakouts. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
