Importance of the New Price
Here is why the price surge is important. Last Thursday, BTC price fell from $7,100 USD to $6,800 USD, losing about $300 USD. Apart from losing the amount, the coin showed some reasonable level of vulnerability at $6,800 USD. As a result, many traders gave up on the coin already and expected it to drop to the mid-$6,000’s USD.
Sadly, the support levels dangled between $6,500 USD and $6,800 USD. Despite that, BTC put up a sweet bounce, settling at $7,000 USD a support level within 24-hours. This momentum and volume are good for the price of the virtual currency. Believe it!
Last Week’s Performance

Nonetheless, the uptrend could be triggered by huge purchases at a lower price range.
