Bitcoin price hits $15K as daily gains top 9% and Trump Vs. Biden goes on – Cointelegraph

Bitcoin (BTC) hit $15,000 on Nov. 5 as excitement over the U.S. election spilled over from macro markets.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView showed BTC/USD tackle the $15,000 barrier repeatedly throughout the day, finally breaking it to post press-time highs of $15,200.

The move seals a hectic day for Bitcoin, which just 24 hours ago traded below $14,000. The last time that BTC/USD saw $15,000 was in early January 2018.

Reacting, many well-known Bitcoin figures noted that it was high time for the largest cryptocurrency to make a decisive move. Macro investor Dan Tapeiro in particular praised the price models of quant analyst PlanB.

Now enterring what is called the moment of realization for #Bitcoin, he tweeted.

As Cointelegraph reported, some expected $15,000 to pose major resistance that would temporarily quash Bitcoins $1,000-plus daily gains.

Others argued that technically, there was very little standing in the way of new all-time highs once Bitcoin overturned resistance at $14,000 and then $14,500.

I have seen this show before, PlanB added, referencing the bull runs of 2013 and 2017.
