Bitcoin Gains 30% in April, Crypto Traders Say Market Poised for New Rally – BTC, XRP, Ethereum, Litecoin Forecast
Bitcoin just recorded its first three-month winning streak since late 2017.
The leading cryptocurrency started the month of April at $4,127 and ended at $5,393, according to CoinMarketCap. BTC managed to hold above $5K after a massive pump around midnight on April 2nd, which has been largely attributed to a single trader who made a calculated purchase designed to dramatically boost the price.
Crypto traders are closely watching the $5,200 mark, with Venture Coinist’s Luke Martin feeling bullish as Bitcoin holds onto its gains despite the recent Bitfinex and Tether controversy.
$BTC looks like it's prepping for a move higher after 3 days of nearly the same price following the Tether drop.

Crypto trader DonAlt told his 92,000 followers it looks like previous resistance has turned to support.
$BTC monthly:
This is the first time in ages that BTC has broken resistance & closed above it.
We've finally got support below us that might actually hold, turning my big timeframe bias bullish.
I'll stick with swing longs until that support fails.
