Just as they did last week, other safe-haven assets such as gold and oil are also surging. Gold prices topped $1,600/oz today which is a new six-year high and oil prices are also cranking at the moment. Bitcoin has firmly cemented itself among them as a safe haven asset attracting new money in times of adversity. Where Next For BTC? Now that longer-term technical indicators are flipping bullish and trend lines have been broken, analysts are eyeing the next move for bitcoin.

Fellow analyst Josh Rager added “BTC looking strong after the U.S. base attack news … could continue to rip up though prior targets to short” $8,800 appears to be the next short term resistance level where Fib retracements align.

The specter of war combined with a bitcoin halving could turn 2020 into the mother of all rallies. Will bitcoin price top $9k this week? Add your comments below.
