Bitcoin Breakout: Price Surges Past $79K as Glassnode Risk Index Hits Zero
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past $79,000, up 4.5% in the last 24 hours. This breakout comes as Glassnode's Risk Index drops to zero, indicating a cleared risk environment for further upside.
Glassnode's Moderate Strategy tracker has flipped from 'Moderate' to 'High Confidence', signaling a bullish regime. The market intelligence firm points to sustained inflows into Bitcoin ETPs and aggressive demand from spot buyers as support.
K33 analyst Vetle Lunde comments that the strong breakout potential for BTC is fueled by concentrated shorts providing ample fuel for a move higher.
