Divergence

Bitcoin price nearly breached the $70,000 resistance on Wednesday due to the momentum created by the <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/top-altcoins-to-buy-now-us-cpi-data-crypto-market/">US CPI</a> data report. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (LBS), inflation remained flat in May. This implies a positive trend backed by favorable economic factors that continue to defy continuing geopolitical tensions in Europe due to the Russia-Ukraine war and in West Asia due to the Israel-Hamas war.

Although <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/bitcoin-price-80000-per-btc-beckons-on-softer-us-cpi-inflation-data/">Bitcoin price</a> had decreased by 0.11% at the time of writing, its 24-hour trading volume was up 30% to $36 billion. The market cap also remained relatively unchanged mirroring the price at $67,830. 
<h2 class="p1" id="bitcoin-price-analysis-nurturing-new-bullish-outlook">Bitcoin Price Analysis: Nurturing New Bullish Outlook</h2> 
Bitcoin touched $70,000 after recovering from support at $66,000. A correction followed immediately allowing bulls to collect more liquidity at $67,000. This temporary downturn may have been caused by profit-taking and the lack of confidence among investors for a breakout above $70,000. 
With the immediate support provided by the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in purple on the chart, bulls have another chance to close the gap to $70,000.

A recently presented buy signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator backs a potential bullish outcome later this week. Traders will regain confidence if the blue MACD line holds above the orange signal line. 
The next move above the 20-day EMA in blue, close to the previous day’s open could strengthen the bullish grip further. 
Based on the <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction/">Bitcoin price prediction</a> carried out by a qualified team of analysts at CoinGape, other key milestones to look forward to are the breakout above $70,000 and the psychological hurdle at $72,000. Beating these two resistance levels successfully could launch Bitcoin into the next bull run eyeing $80,000 in the medium-term and $100,000 by year-end.
