Bitcoin Price Rallies above $19,000 As Investors Target $20k
Bitcoin embarked on a rally in the last 24 hours after facing a correction and dipping below a key support level. Over the past week, Bitcoin has failed multiple times to surpass the $19,500 resistance level as it looks to make the next push in the bullish run.

On Friday, Bitcoin dropped below $19,000 and hit its support level of $18,500 as traders sold off their stacks. However, over the last 24 hours, there has been a resurgence in the price of BTC.
At the time of publication, BTC is trading around $19,000, with major technical indicators suggesting a bullish run. There has been an increase in buy orders within this period, and Bitcoin is expected to test the $19,500 mark in the coming days.
